Hello readers. Unfortunately I’d like to drop a quick post today to inform you that our production of Night of the Cleaner has now been cancelled. We had a great time shooting for two months but, upon reviewing a cut of our initial footage we have decided that it is simply not to be at present. While we are generally happy with our “tester”, as film-makers we simply do not have the skills at present to fully realise what we’ve written in Cleaner and do it justice; but we’ve learned so much and built up so many contacts over the shooting period that it is not time wasted. We are still planning on making Cleaner and will be revisiting the project in 2011.
Rest assured, Short Cut Films is carrying on and from the ashes of Cleaner will rise a series of shorts! We have a number of ideas that we’re currently working on so keep your eyes peeled to this space for further information.
I’d like to take the opportunity to thank the people who contributed to the initial cut of Cleaner – Paul Russon, Sam Kieran, Pip Wilson, Mike Pollard and Ben Ward, and our actors Graham Dawson, Oliver Vella and Katie Atkin. Hopefully these are some names you will be seeing more of on Short Cut Films in the future.
Sorry to hear the news. But it sounds like you have learnt a fair bit.
All the best for the future.
