Local Filmmakers Showcase


Dreambase Studios were proud to be involved in this years Swindon Film Festival, working with the festival organiser, Barbara Hoffbauer and the Swindon Film Society by sponsoring the 'Local Filmmakers Showcase' section of the festival which featured five short films including writer/director Stephen Ware's short film Aimee in which Dreambase also supported by completing sound post on the project. "Stephen approached us asking if we would like to become involved as a sponsor and help out with sound post on the project" said Mark Kenna, Owner of Dreambase Studios. After reading the script and discussing the project with Stephen, it was clear that Stephen's ambitions were more than just to complete his short, with his main focus to help and encourage the film industry in Swindon to grow.

"Aimee tells the story of a young girl on the cusp of adulthood, living in the shadow of her parents’ unhappy marriage and supported by her long-standing best friend, Claire. The tale of love, trust, and ultimately, the gambles in life was produced using local talent that represents the town's passion for filmmaking. The film had its Premier at the Empire cinema back in February, also one of the sponsors.

Other films included Alex Seckers The Silent Assassin that was very well received, who's now completing his second short Wishful Thinking and 15 year old, Darren Potter's Future Desires about a teenager’s ambition to dance which also won the Audience Favourite at the regional Preloader Film Festival earlier this year.
