47 Meters Down set for 2017 Cinema Release‏

Shark thriller 47 Meters Down is to have a theatrical release next year after being sold by Dimension Films to Entertainment Studios.

Renamed In the Deep, the film follows two sisters (Mandy Moore and Claire Holt) trapped in a shark observation cage at the bottom of the ocean with less of an hour left of oxygen.

Directed by Johannes Roberts, Creativity Media provided post production and sound design for this project including underwater Foley.

Our Supervising sound editor Richard Kondal headed the team to create a full soundscape of eerie underwater audio.

We look forward to catching In the Deep on big screen in 2017.

Creativity Media to Provide Post Production for Swallows and Amazons

Creativity Media are to provide full post production on what is due to be one of the biggest UK releases of 2016, Swallows and Amazons.

Filming is already underway on the Philippa Lowthorpe directed feature which is being backed by BBC Films and BFI.

Sket Comes Out on DVD

Having gained some headlines back in autumn for its portrayal of young women pulled into London gangs, Sket is fresh out on DVD today. We supervised the post production and co-produced this film with Gateway Films and Gunslinger. The film is available on DVD, Blu-Ray, iTunes and On Demand.

In other news, Adam Deacon’s win at the BAFTA awards last month continues to gain attention, particularly from the meme generators. Naughty! We’re looking forward to seeing his performance in Outside Bet when it hits cinemas on April 27th.

Alex’s article for the Telegraph has reached an audience over the other side of the Atlantic. John Roach has been working with students at Georgia State University, experimenting with the psychology of sound. John referenced Alex’s article with an interest in the art of Foley and creative approaches in film sound. John and Alex have since got in touch with one another, exchanging ideas in sound exploration and human perception of our natural and man-made aural environment. It will be interesting to see what develops.

Last but not least, we are in the process of moving… more to be revealed next week. Rest assured, it’s exciting!
