Bideford Trip!

I know Bertie has said that this blog will be continued on their Roanoke Trip, but I thought that if anyone is still checking this one, I'd let you know about a screening taking place tomorrow.

Basically, the guys who are in the U.S. (Bertie, Dan, Jenna and Shane) will be screening the film in Roanoke, and we will also be holding a screening in Bideford in Devon (I think!). Myself and some of the other cast and crew will be travelling down for this, and I am going to try to get some video footage of the day (anything they can do!) or at least some photo's, that I will put up tomorrow evening on this blog!

I hope those of you who were at the premiere enjoyed the film, I am looking forward to seeing it for the first time as I couldn't make the premiere because of the bad weather stopping my train, and I am so annoyed about it!

Anyway lets hope the weather is ok for tomorrow or I still won't get to see it!

Roanoke: UK Premiere

Edit: Online Video of London Tonight news report - Here


Last night was the first (and for one night only) premiere of Roanoke: The Lost Colony. The cast and crew reunited once more. It was a great evening and with so many people in attendance the waiting area in front of screen 1 was very full. We have had so many wonderful comments and thoughts about the film from those who came to see it. It's really nice to get such amazing positive feedback from everyone.

Here's a few photos of our special day:

A big thank you to everyone who came and attended our premiere. It means so much to us and I hope you will keep in touch as we follow the guys on their journey through America on their Roanoke trip.

Premiere Tomorrow - London Tonight

We had a lovely phone call today from London Tonight the flagship news program on ITV for the greater london region who have asked about our film. We will be doing an interview with at the Ritzy Cinema tomorrow and fingers crossed our story will be broadcast to millions just a few hours before the premiere and our trip out to America (which can now be viewed on RoanokeTrip.com). This will be the first large news broadcaster to pick up our stories although if you are in the Croyden area today you will be able to see a great article in the Advertiser who have followed up on our film (online version may be available soon). We have heard that the Virginia Post would also like to publish our story (however we'll let you know more when it happens) and fingers crossed this is just the beginning as we head out to publicize the film across America and the UK. I've said it before but I'll say it again, it wouldn't be possible without the hours of effort and support from everyone, so as we stand on the eve of the premiere, thank you to all.

p.s. - if we do get on London Tonight i'll try and post a video of it on here later (for those outside London)

Roanoke: The Lost Colony - U

Today the film has been officially rated as U - Universal (equivalent of G in America). We were surprised by this rating although not disappointed. We had never presumed the rating to be high due to the film lacking in very graphic material however there are some scenes we thought could push the rating higher. For the premiere it is very good news however as it means that everyone will be able to enjoy the show, whatever their age, and bring along a variety of family members. It was thought that although the film suggested and showed scenes that could raise the grade, they were handled in a tastfull way and one that did not glorify viloence etc.

Yesterday we tested the film at the Ritzy Picturehouse again (2nd time) and we finally managed to get everything working smoothly after a few errors from both our end and theirs. They have some very helpfull and lovely people working their who have been a big help throughout the preperation process for the ritzy.

The official Roanoke: The Lost Colony poster is also up in two places at the ritzy, it is outside the cinema and also in the main foyer outside the top bar, it was great to see. Dan and I managed to get a quick photo on his phone so hopefully Dan maybe able to get this online sometime today/tomorrow.

The website we posted of RoanokeTrip.com has been gathering quite alot of interest and as we are still finalising details I can say that it will be a full month worth of daily updates (unless we find ourselves stranded without the internet) and will show the other side of the film production that is raley seen.

Thank you for all your support to date and we can't wait to chat to you at the premiere (if your able to make it)

If sadly you're in America and wouldnt' be able to make the UK premiere then don't worry........ :-D

Very Exciting

Some news just broke, I'm going to save it up and announce it all at once, but ever so exciting!

Few Big Things

First of all just 20 days to go until the UK premiere! It is very exciting and if you haven't already got your tickets then there are still 1 or 2 available at the box office. Call on 08707 55 00 62 or online via our link at http://www.roanokethemovie.com/index5.htm.

We are currently working on two big things which we are keeping on a low profile at the moment but should mean alot of website updates for a number of days coming soon.

The status of the film sees it now completed and going through a number of exports for the premiere and the DVD release. I know Angela has been working hard on all the behind the scene footage and making of material and it is looking fantastic.

Keep checking the site for the announcement of the two major things, sorry to be so vague, but they should be quite cool!
