Even for a short, “Thompson” captures a lifetime

Thompson Poster

“Thomspon” was a Jury Award Winner at SXSW 2009, an Official Selection at the Los Angeles Film Festival, and everyone please look out for upcoming screenings at the ‘Free Range Film Festival’ and ‘Doc Point’ in Helsinki!

Jason Tippet’s film “Thompson” packs a lot of punch for a short about two slow-moving high school friends from Newhall, California. Matt and Ryan have known each other since second grade and are quickly approaching adulthood without much of a game plan. They both love dirt bikes and fire, neither are very ‘cool’ according to the dictations of their peers and going fishing is their only priority.

They are so seemingly average that in person you might not think twice about these two but onscreen they could be poster children of a sleeping generation. Their commentary on life is juvenile at times but easy to appreciate and almost sweet. There is a great moment in the film where Ryan looks over at a huge butterfly lawn decoration someone pinned to a tree and talks about his desire to have a real one for a pet. It was hilarious and spontaneous and I laughed out loud. This film has such a simple yet thoughtful charm that makes it hard to resist… and you almost want to find them and hang out with them. Almost.

The Victor Short Film Awards at Pinewood Studios!

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

Hello Everyone,

Our friend and colleague Mark Bradley as starred in a short film that will be playing in the Victor Short Film Awards at the prestigious Pinewood Studios!  Information is below along with a video!

Thanks!

Welcome to the official site of the 2009 Victor short film winner of winner awards.

What Are The Victors?

The Victors Awards are given for supreme excellence in video and film production. Submissions are sent by winning short film entrants from festivals around the UK. 
We ask all FILM FESTIVALS to request their winning entrants to submit to the Victor Awards. All winning films will again be filtered down to win the prestigious winner of winners awards at The Victor’s.

The Supreme Award.
To win a Victor Award means that your work has gone head to head against other award winning short film festival winners. We hope to eventually receive film submissions from all U.K & Ireland film festivals.
Hosted at Pinewood Studios prestigious Theatre 7 and using the latest technology to screen the winning short films. The Victor’s are the elite short film awards.
The 10 Victor’s are currently awarded in a single ceremony per year. The awards are sponsored by ReelThingProductions who award a cash prize for best new mini feature. We are also in talks to gain further sponsors.

THE TWIST

If we receive enough applications for the awards, we propose to take the award winner from each category into our employment and fund the completion of a full length feature film.

The 10 Victor winners will form the core of a New Production team.

Three completed feature film scripts will be made available to the New Production Team. A vote on which script to produce will then take place and production will commence.

The New Production team will be contracted to complete a feature length production, under the supervision ofReelThing Productions.

This is a totally unique and un-tested idea. Unfortunately we cannot and at this early stage commit 100% to the concept, however and if this system works we stand to make film making history.

In March 2009 we will inform the already excited media and various web sites to launch the Victors.


10 people will win an award this year. It could be you!

Submissions are welcome by Film Festivals and any serious film maker. You must be over the age of 18 years old or have written and signed permission along with your application form, from a suitable parent or guardian to enter the competition.


Good luck.


“For any film maker the opportunity of screening at Theatre 7 is enticing. I had the pleasure of meeting the Chief Projectionist one afternoon and it was clear that faultless, precision perfect projection was his base bench mark. Because screening on the same silver as Bond, SlumDog and countless other movies the victors are a real opportunity enjoy. Now go make a film!

Marc A Bradley,

Actor / Director of short film.
