FILMS
Alongside our work in TV, we love making drama. So far we have made 7 short films, with one more ready to be released any time now. The aim is to make a feature and currently we are working on two scripts that we feel have real potential. Below are six of the films for your viewing pleasure, HOLD we haven't released just yet, but its primed for debut in late summer 2020.
Many moons ago (2007) we also made a feature doc about one man's solo journey across Australia on a longboard. Click here to find out more and watch the film.

WOMAN OF THE NIGHT (2018)

Woman of the Night is about a young mother who works secretly as a bouncer to support her husband and daughter. WOTN was Cassiah's second film and written, filmed and edited within just a few weeks. It featured a lovely turn by Rebekah Hinds as our lead and again we are lucky that it was accepted and shown at numerous film festivals.
POLLY (2017)
Writer/Director: Cassiah Joski-Jethi
DOP: Kaine Levy
Editor/Producer: Peter Coventry
In a world where teenage girls must live to the expectations of a cult-like society obsessed with doll-like perfection; one girl, Polly, doesn't quite fit in and in her search for acceptance, commits an unthinkable act.
Polly was our first collaboration with Cassiah, a very talented writer/director. The film was a low budget affair, but with an amazing cast and crew we pulled it off and are very proud that the film showed in festivals across the world and was nominated for numerous awards.
BEACHCOMBER (2014)
Writer/Director: Peter Coventry
DOP: Neil Parkes
Producer: Nana Wilson/Oliver Pothecary
We were lucky enough to produce Beachcomber in collaboration with Film London as part of their London Calling Short Fund and we screened at the BFI for their showcase in early September 2015. Since then we have been selected for a number of UK and international festivals.
The wonderful Larry Lamb came on board and breathed life into our lead character Stephen. He was a joy to work with and we think he rather enjoyed living rough on the beach for few days! The rest of the cast, Sophie, Lynette, Aidan, Alec, Neil, Trevor (star dog) and Kitty were equally as generous and glorious. Here is a link to a few on set shenanigans.
Eric has his first job in over a year. Supply teacher. Failsworth Comp. Spanish for year 11. Maybe if he can survive the first day, everything will be ok. Maybe, like everyone else everyone else, he can start to get on with his life...
Starring Ben Lambert, Supply played at The Cinecity Film Festival 2012, the Edinburgh Bootleg Film Fest 2013 and the American Online Film fest 2014. Check out pics of the shoot.
