Thanks and Drift update

November 15, 2011

This is a BIG thank you to all the volunteers who came to the set this weekend, November 12-13. I know some of you travelled a significant distance to be with us and I am really grateful you made the journey!  More importantly, I hope you had fun too!

It was a very hectic weekend with a lot of different things going on: Set building, make up, testing/research/teaching, costume research, plot meetings, helmet building, body suit development, electrical visual effects, set painting, tea drinking… You name it, we were doing it!!!!

Now that most of the sawdust has settled, I have been able to reflect on the 48 hours of madness and seen that we have come a long way – that is all down to you guys, my Drifters!

Matt will be keeping you updated on developments for the next series of meets, please let him know of your availability.  As time progress, we will be introducing more aspects of the production, whereby in January we will be breaking out the camera and lights ready for some film testing!!!!!

In the meantime, be pleased and proud of what you have done so far – everyone makes a difference!

Thanks again and see you soon!

Get involved in The Drift

September 25, 2011

After almost  20 years of making spoofs, Backyard Productions is now embarking on its first original feature length movie The Drift.  A Sci-Fi action horror (12 Cert) set deep in space in a starship graveyard.

The film will be shot mostly on set in Lincoln in February March 2012, although building has already begun. We are now looking for volunteers to lend their skills to help, teach and inspire our production group.  [Read more]
