Announcement
of new project.
It
has been an extremely interesting and rewarding year for Stirton Productions.
We finally completed work on our first feature length production ‘The
Planet’ and we were delighted with the positive nature of the
reviews. To have the film shown at the Belmont cinema and on Propeller
TV was a tremendous boost and to finish the year with a six-figure deal
to produce new work, was as good a result as we could possibly have
asked for.
As
I said, it’s been an interesting year. I would like to take a
moment to thank the cast and crew of ‘The Planet’. Not just
for sticking with me during the shoot, but during the re-shoots, the
pick-ups, the dubbing sessions, the test screenings and the final premiere
night. It is no small thing to stick with a project for 2 years and
my gratitude goes out to each and every crewmember.
It
is now my pleasure to announce that we have secured a six-figure sum
for a co-production between Stirton Productions and Cannyfilms Partnership
Ltd. We are looking forward to working with our new partners to ensure
that ‘One Day Removals’ is as good a film as we can possibly
make. We are also hopeful that this will be the first of many co-productions
with Cannyfilms.
‘One
Day Removals’ will star veterans of ‘The Planet’ Patrick
Wight and Scott Ironside. Anyone who saw ‘The Planet’ will
have noticed the potential of these two performers and it is a pleasure
to be working with them again.
The film will be a re-imagining of an early short film of ours called
‘Removals’. This short was well received and I always wanted
to expand the original idea and to get to know the characters more intimately.
Which, thanks to our new co-production deal, is exactly what we are
going to do.
The
movie will be filmed using the latest HD equipment and eventually transferred
onto 35mm film.
We
are looking forward to the creative and technical challenges ahead of
us and as director I am looking forward to working with so many of the
people who made ‘The Planet’ such an amazing experience.

Stirton
Productions Completes Work On New Movie, ‘The Planet.’
Scotland based
digital film company, Stirton Productions announces the completion of
new movie, The Planet.
Aberdeen, Scotland (PRWEB) April 21, 2006 -- Stirton
Productions are pleased to announce the completion of their latest movie
‘The Planet,’ written and directed by Mark Stirton.
The Planet, which stars Mike Mitchell (2005/6 WFF Mr.
Universe) and Aberdeen comedian and presenter Patrick Wight, concerns
a group of shipwrecked mercenaries and their struggle for survival on
an alien world.
Director, Mark Stirton writes. “This production
has taken 2 years of intensive work and we would like to thank the numerous
people who have made this possible, In particular Michael Clark and
Kerwin Robertson, the producers, who have been with the project since
the very beginning. Many thanks must also go to Mike Mitchell (who plays
Captain Morgan in the film) for his continued support, as well as Patrick
Wight and Scott Ironside.
"We are looking forward to releasing the finished
film and are extremely proud of the work that we have accomplished;
we consider this to be the most ambitious science fiction film ever
produced in Scotland. The final production is a feature length movie
with over 300 visual effects and is testament to what can be achieved
with even a small crew.
"We would also like to thank the various people
who have contacted us over the last 2 years to offer support and advice.
It is very much appreciated and we now look forward to sharing the film
with you.”
