Without any approved stills and with the film still being finished, there is not much we can do except add some great tags and say four words:

Never

Let

Me

Go

We’re running into the handles

And the cup is almost full

ROUND 1.

We’ve reached a point where a lot of people have been in to see us.

It’s not that we don’t like doing interviews and it’s not that we don’t want to meet new people, but we’ve decided to stop interviewing - just for now.

We’ve taken down our recruitment posters.

We have in fact just hired some exceptionally talented people, some are here already with more arriving in March. We’ve also met lots of people who we really want to bring on board - but can’t do so, just yet.

ROUND 2.

We will put the posters back up soon, we just don’t know when exactly. It depends on factors out side of our control. We still have capacity in the handles, and it is our stated intention to use it all up.

So keep in touch, get in touch, you know how. Baseblack needs you.

Interesting Stuff to look at coming soon

The Unloved

We’ve been working on The Unloved. VFX Designer Chris Panton has pulled off 15 shots of the invisible variety - subtle, muted and often toned down, the work was to set up to connect moments and create moods in this powerful and compelling story. Using Visual Effects to find a way of telling that story at difficult key moments, we often nailed it first time and at other times found it difficult to find a balance.

We worked closely with Director Samantha Morton and Editor Colin Monie, we’ve had the luck to play a small part in the making of this wonderful film.

The Unloved is the directorial debut of Samantha Morton and a powerful drama about a young girl growing up in a children’s home. Filmed in Morton’s home town of Nottingham it is co-written with writer Tony Grisoni and produced by Kate Ogborn for Revolution Films. Cast includes Robert Carlyle, Susan Lynch, Craig Parkinson and Andrea Lowe alongside the two young leads - Molly Windsor as Lucy and Lauren Socha as Lauren.

The drama is part of a Channel 4 season of programmes called ‘Britain’s Forgotten Children’, which will put the care system under the spotlight, and ask why a quarter of the children up for adoption each year can’t find a family.
