Tragedy Strikes And Reminds Us All To Appreciate Life… Nothing Is Guaranteed
Given the Impact has taken eight years to make and involved thousands of people, and we also had a pandemic, it’s mathematical odds that we would lose someone. At the end of the film there is a title card to remember all those involved who have passed. It’s possible others may have passed too, and
Filmmaking, Manifesting Success, The Towering Inferno and Impact50… All part of the conversation…
Last night I did a fun webchat with Lance Nielsen and Suzette Pluck. While we did chat Impact50 of course, we also wandered into wider topics around career and how to leverage your own skills and relationships to manifest success as you see it. Hope you enjoy.

The Impact DCP Goes To The BBFC For Classification
The final DCP* for The Impact is coming out just over 100GB, fitting nicely on an old SSD ripped from a dead laptop. And it’s now time to submit the film for BBFC classification. This is a legal requirement if we are to show the film publically, and also part of the evidence trail for
Struck by a Meteorite! What Are The Chances? By Milethia Thomas
“You have a better chance of getting hit by a tornado and a bolt of lightning and a hurricane all at the same time.” Michael Reynolds, astronomer and author of Falling Stars: A Guide to Meteors & Meteorites (as told to the National Geographic). Such observations would have been little comfort to Ann Hodges, who
Four Star Review of ‘The Impact’ with Film and TV, Review by John Higgins
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The world may be emerging from a global challenge, but film-makers are still determined to show the bad side of what is going on. We are still very vulnerable emotionally and financially, but creativity will prevail in film-making, where independent voices can thrive, even if resources remain low. One initiative pioneered through the
Podcast and Review of Impact 50 with Film and TV Now and John Higgins…
It’s time to get my hair under control. No seriously. I just recorded an interview for FILM AND TV NOW with John Higgins where I laid out just how we managed to complete Impact50 and some of the ‘herding cats’ style challenges we faced. Hope you enjoy! Chris Jones www.Impact50film.com Want to get a
Want to hear the music soundtrack for Impact50?
As I have with all the films I have made, I have compiled the soundtrack so that those of us who love film music – that’s me too – can listen the eclectic score. It’s not finalised and I am still adding tracks where composers come back to me, but it’s feeling pretty complete. Give
The Impact, review from Dark Mark Writing
‘The Impact’ is the result of a collaborative filmmaking initiative run by Create50. The feature film is comprised of thirty-seven short films made by various filmmakers from around the world. (IMDB) What would you do if you had just over 90 minutes to live? Would you go crazy and run amok? Rush to be with
‘Impact50’ is a film that makes you feel, review by Alison Clapham
The Impact50 movie is a triumph of vision and team spirit. From Joe Eszterhas’s opening scenario, through an anthology of people’s lives in their collective final minutes, finishing with the inevitability of the apocalypse, Impact50 certainly makes an impact on the emotions. Setting new world records for the most screenwriters and most directors on a
The Final Draft Meteor Award Has Arrived… and it’s OUT OF THIS WORLD!
Every so often we experience magic. Actual real world magic. Not a trick. Not supernatural. But awe inspiring scientifically backed up magic. I just opened the box containing the Meteorite that the Final Draft have so kindly sponsored for the Best Script Award at the Impact50 awards. And yes, sorry for the string of clichés, but it
Grab YOUR Movie Poster for Impact50
So AMAZING people, we have a movie poster for Impact50… After a HUGE amount of debate within the team and community, we have decided to use the poster with the meteor for all online presence. It works really well in the fast-paced environment of social media, such as account headers or thumbnails and square posts.
Remember that time we shot the president?
It seems like a lifetime ago now, but it was an amazing day shooting Olivia Williams playing the President in a script written by Joe Ezsterhas! And not it’s the opening to the feature film we premiere on May 31st and EVERYONE is welcome! Tickets below… Want to get a little bit more Impact? Here’s
