PRODUCTION
RICHARD PARKS: CAN I BE WELSH AND BLACK?
We’re very proud of this film for ITV Cymru Wales, in which Richard Parks, former Welsh Rugby International, multiple world record adventurer, and BAFTA Cymru nominated broadcaster presents a powerful, personal and at times poignant look at what it means to be Welsh and Black in today’s Wales.
It aired on the 27th October 2020 on ITV Cymru Wales, and is now available online here.

THE POINT
We’ve just finished shooting a short film called TWEAKS, with Simon Callow, Dan Skinner and Nicola Wren… so far it’s been selected for the following festivals (more news soon):
- Oregon Short Film Festival – nominated for the Best Ensemble Cast Award.
- 28th LA Comedy Film Festival
- Indie Shorts Awards Cannes
- Nevada Short Film Festival
- Chapter MovieMaker (BAFTA Cymru qualifying)
It’s also been licensed by global TV and SVOD channel Shorts TV (in North America, LATAM & Spain and EMEA) – it will be available on their channels when the festival run is over at the end of this year… Shorts TV is a dream destination for any short film – aside from their global channels, they also theatrically distribute the Academy Award nominated short films each year… so Tweaks is in great company.
This all feeds in to a larger project, The Point, a black comedy drama feature film.
” THE POINT dares to tackle a painful subject with wit that never trivialises the predicament. Acutely observed… “
Francine Stock – Film critic and presenter of BBC Radio 4‘s weekly film review show The Film Programme
