Wasteland: Zombie movie filmed in Derby to be released

A ZOMBIE movie produced by a Derby film company is set to be released in countries across the world. Bosses at Light Films have clinched a deal with a distributor that will see Wasteland hit...

A few years ago I teamed up with Derby based Light Films Ltd and wrote them a low-budget zombie flick. After a few years filming, editing and all that the movie has been picked up and has distribution, which is pretty excellent news!

The only details I have about the release are from the article in the Derby Telegraph so have a read but I'll keep people posted with what I know about the movie as and when I have more details.

A very interesting read but it is a little brain-melting to get your head around it. Even the article doesn't clearly define the difference between the two but I think I understand what they are driving at.

Here's a new blog from Night Owls writer/director Sophie Black. I have worked with Sophie a few times over the years (Stop/Eject, Wasteland, Shelf Stackers) and she is one of the most talented filmmakers I know. Night Owls is the first time we've actually created a movie together though, screenplay upward, and it was a pleasure. One of the most fun and inspiring film shoots I have been on Please read her thoughts on making the movie and I'll be sure to post more info on the film as it goes through post-production.

On holiday. Writing outdoors. Playing fetch with the holiday neighbour’s dog. Visiting friends while they fish.
