Again across the same table

As far as we know not since Spy Game have these two fine actors (Matthew Marsh and Todd Boyce) sat opposite each other at the same table in the same scene. Then as CIA officers now as US and Soviet soldiers  joined by Stewart (Jack Marsh)...

Gaffer's Trucks

Long lines of lighting trucks make for a cool photo, but sometimes one gaffer with experience is all you need...

Arri SR 3 Kit fits an Astra (Vauxhall/Opel)

Need to rent a van? If you are good with packing you might manage to fit the camera kit to an Astra like we did, but on the other hand using a 4x4 like we did during the fall is always an option too.

The interior scenes were shot on location at High Elms Manor in Garston. The manor house has been the set for many films and now also for our little film. To find out more of this very welcoming location whether for a film or for a wedding please visit :

Tea break

Making the "enchanted forest"

2nd unit

Perhaps 2nd unit is not the right title for a post regarding the shoot that took place during the fall of 2010 but in any case the filming of In Clear Sight (working title for now) commenced with a few wonderful fall days on location at Mil -Safarit in Finland who provided us with a very good selection of military trucks and jeeps for our needs.
