Pre-Production and Filming of ‘Silent Ruin’ Produced by 2JayProductions
When myself Jaye (producer) and Jonah (director) decided to option one of the Impact Scripts we instantly fell in love with Silent Ruin written by Chris Vanderhorst. We were impressed by the way it was written, and thought it quite unique that the end of the world was played out using different sounds. The two
First Russian Team Creating a FIlm for the Impact50!
By the moment I entered the international team of Impact50 I had produced three shorts. However, I have never produced a short film, which was not made from my own screenplay. This was my first try. I read all the winning scripts, but it was hard to choose which one to produce, as I was
Watch ‘Rub A Dub Dub, Two Men In A Tub’ produced by NH Communications Ltd
Losing our main farm location with less than 48 hours before film day we held it together (just) through head scratching, frantic phone calls (remember those?), and seven coffees, managing to find another location just in time.We liked the gentle humour of Zara’s script and felt that both Omar – who we had seen giving

Making ‘The Travellers’ by Spacegoat Films
Making ‘The Travellers’ represented somewhat of a milestone for me as it is pretty much the first film I have made/directed that I have NOT written myself. This definitely presented a number of challenges for me, but made the process more enjoyable as a result! Usually, pre-production for me is fairly straightforward as I have
It’s a wrap… on ‘No Connection, Try Again Later’ by Scott Young
This morning at about 11:15, after a very early start, director Xander Borg called, “It’s a wrap!” on ‘No Connection, Try Again Later’ for The Impact. I had the great pleasure of acting as one of the producers and getting to work with him and actor Trevor Young (no relation to me!), as well as cinematographer Aaron Franke, whose footage
Inside The Piano Shop Is Now Live On The Impact50 Website!
This is the first HOS project – a short film from the Lisa Parry script and part of the Impact50 initiative.

Paul W Franklin: Filming ‘East Valley Rhinos’
Of all my creative projects, I find that the ones that turn out the best are the ones that I feel a personal connection to. ‘East Valley Rhinos’ is a sweet tale about some rugby players who go to rescue an injured teammate from hospital. Having played rugby myself, it instantly grabbed me … and

5 Things I Have Learned As A First-Time Producer by Kim L. Wheeler
Someone once told me that one of the best ways to improve my own writing was to produce a film. “Yeh, that’s not gonna happen,” I laughed. “I wouldn’t know where to start!” Then came along Create50’s ‘The Impact’ Initiative which offers 50 writers the chance to have their own screenplays put out to producers.
