Our first independent film, ‘Olivia’, is being shown at this year’s Threshold Festival in Liverpool, the largest European festival all under one roof.

“The goal for Olivia was to create a film which people would enjoy but not know why. This was done by creating a narrative which didn’t contain or fit into any of the most common genres, such as romance, horror, thriller etc.

 
The film follows Olivia, a living statue, who catches the attention of an onlooking lady. However, once the lady has gone, it is Olivia who starts to develop the obsession”.

 
Not only will we be having our film shown at the event, which spans from the 11th to the 13th of February, but we will also be assisting a group of Liverpool filmmakers, who operate under the name Kino, to create new pieces over the three day festival period.

Threshold is working with a large number of musicians, visual artists, and a wide range of entertainers in order to create something truly special in the North West of England.

Renaissance Film Productions has been chosen to film StagePro Academy’s annual dance show on Sunday, the 20th of February, at Warrington’s Pyramid Centre. This event is for the parent’s of the participants of the Academy’s dance school.

Renaissance Film Productions are currently working with Platform, a group of St. Helens-based artists who are in need of studio space. We filmed their first pop-up studio event in the town, and will be documenting all of their upcoming events, in order to create a film to help their cause.

One of the works produced on the day was by Claire Weetman (like to http://www.claireweetman.co.uk) who created ‘Recording the Journey’, a piece of chalk street art, which represented a sound wave that had been recorded whilst traveling through the town.

For more information about Platform’s upcoming events, and to help their cause for studio space, please visitwww.platformarts.blogspot.com
