MILES TO GO/MILESTONE PRODUCTIONS - A SHORT HISTORY...
Our first FEATURE FILM was 2007's 80-minute feature THE BANDWAGONS , which premiered at City Screen York to a sold-out room on November 6th 2007, and again on Sunday May 25th 2008.
You can see the entire film over at our BandWagons page in our top friends.
Our second feature, CRIMEFIGHTERS , is currently in post production and is slated for screening in January 2010. VISIT CRIMEFIGHTERS IN OUR TOP FRIENDS and read our DAILY FILMMAKING BLOG right here on this page.
Our web series ZOMBLOGALYPSE is a comedy-horror charting the adventures of a trio of flat-dwellers in the wake of a ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE. Head to THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE for the full Zomblog experience and become a fan on FACEBOOK . Here's THE LATEST EPISODE:
We did pretty well in the ELE (Evil League of Evil) application video competition for Joss Whedon's DR. HORRIBLE . Our entry, Earl Grey, convinced many people that we belonged on the DVD, and we did get a 'Dishonourable Mention' but in the end it was a subjective thing for the Whedon boys, and we lost out to some great entries. Here's ours... oh and EARL GREY WILL RETURN!:

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


Fellow filmmakers who just love watching and making films.
Fun and passionate people with a twinkle in their eye.
Lovely people who'd like to throw money at us for future films.
Bands who'd like us to make music videos.
