As an experienced voluntary sector organisation ourselves, we understand eaxctly how things work. Therefore we can help you get your message across to a wider audience. Whether its to evidence your work for a funder or helping with funding applications we can put togethere a compelling story that will succinctly highlight the work of your organisation.
As people who also work in the voluntary sector, we also understand the complex issues that this sector constantly faces. Despite the healthy creative pluralism of the state operating alongside a third sector, that is free from the State’s risk averse culture and so often leads the way forward within social change, for some reason the voluntary sector is still woefully underfunded.
As well as evaluations we also cover live music and performing arts with a multi camera crew. Here is a short promotional film we produced pro bono for the Freedom Fields Community Festival 2016.

The Ratman Chronicle
The ‘Ratman Chronicle’ is a documentary that follows the ill fated Canadian film production entitled ‘Ratman.’ Nearing the completion of ‘Ratman’ chaos ensued, with the director Stephen Foxman departing for Mexico with the majority of the film’s remaining production budget.
Shot in Montreal Quebec, ‘Ratman’ was commissioned by the Bureau du cinéma et de la télévision du Québec and The National Film Board of Canada.

Sadly ‘Ratman’ was never completed. However in 2011 over 40 years later, in collaboration with Filmrealone and Intrepid Dog Prodctions® the original footage was finally brought to the big screen. Blunt edge Films then agreed to track down the original cast, the writer and director to set the story straight. They had not spoken since the 1970’s.
What followed was ‘The Ratman Chronicle’ a compelling modern day story that finally reveals the truth about this Quebec made 1970’s production.

The estranged Film Director Stephen Foxman who still claims he is innocent of any crime
‘The Ratman Chronicle’ documents the pain and suffering of the ill fated ‘Ratman’ project as seen through the eyes of its original cast and crew. Unfortunately it also opened up old wounds and long standing disagreements.
Tragically this culminated in a bloody conclusion to this long running story of deception and revenge. A story that is guaranteed to shock audiences throughout the world.
