Coronation Street Pride

Hi there, recently the yearly event for Gay Pride took place in Manchester and we we’re there to film on behalf of Black Dog Ballroom and ITV.

Black Dog Ballroom sponsored the Coronation Street float this year and we had a quick chat to some of the cast. Have a look at our video here!

Enjoy.

Feast your eyes on these: New Shorts

Today we have some special new links for you to click. We are temporally releasing our two latest short films, The Bearer and Things Beyond the Sun. These short films will be entering festivals everywhere this year so keep a look out for them, and catch them now while you can! They wont be available for long as festivals sometimes want exclusivity to them.

The Bearer

The Bearer is a picture of choices, an interpretation of the fine line faith can draw between truth and legend.

The film explores the parallels of the two principle characters, a young boy and a local Priest as they expose the weakness of their creed.

Banishing authority, the film illustrates life at a critical point, where the next steps forward must be taken without counsel.

Things Beyond the Sun

A fantastical tale of a young girl’s journey, interrupting the monotony of a lonesome old man’s life, for better or for worse.

Sometimes all you need is a change of perspective.

Please feel free to leave your thoughts on them in the comment section on Vimeo. Don’t forget you can find all our latest news and videos on our facebook page, just search Stake Productions!

Thats all for now, keep coming back for more news.

Channel 4 Street Summer + new employee

Hello, good news! We are pleased to announce a new permanent member of the Stake Team. Here she is;

Claire Molloy is a DOP, Director, creator of film, she eats cereal on the bus and is an all round crazy minded person. Ideally suited to the Stake Team it seems!

She has a keen eye for great film ideas and her favourite food is mushrooms. She also tends to spill tea, usually aiming for expensive electronics. But never the less, here is her show reel.

Today we have been busy editing for Channel 4′s Street Summer in association with Don’t Panic. We filmed Chris AKA Theodore on the 1′st where he completed his adapted award winning design on a popular Manchester based wall. Right now we are in the final stages of the edit and the final feature should air in the coming weeks as part of Channel 4′s Street Summer programme. So keep a look out for that!

Part of the team hard at work!

Good to see you all, as always. Stay well.

The Stake Team.
