The visit Short Film
IRA man Tommy McDaid is pulled back to Manchester 25 years after he helped plant a huge bomb that devastated the City Centre and changed the course of his life forever.
“The Visit started out with a great screenplay, a terrific cast and a committed crew – and even so, it came out better than I dared to hope. It’s a tiny Swiss watch of a movie, jeweled with elegy, humanity, regret … and an unstated but powerful thread of hope. I’m proud to have been involved.”
Lee Child, Executive-Producer The Visit.
Written and Produced by Paul Ludden.
Exec-Producer Lee Child.
Starring Cal MacAninch.
Directed by Jake Murray.
Run Time: 19.58
GONE FISHING SHORT FILM
Men of a certain age will generally talk about anything other than their mental health.
Ben and Pete are no different..
Two middle-aged mates on their first fishing trip since their friend Marko took his own life, a complete and utter shock to them both.
Even the crazy stories, dark humour and piss taking can’t stop them opening up in a way they never expected.
TW: CONTAINS THEMES OF SUICIDE
Written and Produced by Paul Ludden
Starring Kris Hitchen and Chris Hatherall
Directed by Christopher Deakin
Run Time: 11.16

Been getting loads of lovely comments about the performances in Gone Fishing Short Film, which is fantastic.. But it`s great to see Festivals like @folkestonefilmfest making a point to highlight the cinematography and sound design.. So lucky to have @jennisuitiala_dop as our DOP and @ellisaudio on sound.. Did a brilliant job on The Visit Short Film and again on Gone Fishing Short Film, always above and beyond.. without them both films just wouldn`t be the same and definitely wouldn`t have the same impact.. Thank You x
