About Me

GratisCinema started as both an experiment and a movement. Founders Ryan Cole and Tom Joyce met at the University of East London and decided to gather together talented and upcoming filmmakers, artists and any other creatives they could get their hands on from the East London area. The theory was simple, and the result evident. After making 4 no-budget shorts, we are in the early pre-production stage of a far more ambitious project. Keep you posted.

In the meantime, check out our traiiler for 'The BoxRoom'. It's real pretty!

Shit!

Shooting went well on 'Base' this weekend.When I say this, I mean it very specifically. What we shot looks great. A few shots which went exactly to plan and a few surprises in there too. Early calls a...

The kids were alright

Yesterday was an eventful day in the glamorous world of cheap-ass film making. I spent the entire day thinking back over the auditions we did over the weekend for 'Base'. All the kids were great (a fe...

Down with the kids

Yesterday was a run-away success. Tom, Laura and I decamped to Alton for the first (and possibly only) round of auditions for Base.  I wasn't expecting the response we had. In total we&...

Pre-Production Hell

Just a quick update in all things GratisCinema. Ryan and I (Tom) went to visit the location for our upcoming short, Base, last weekend - just to get a feel for it and work out logistics. We took some ...

When Saturday Comes...

...is an awful film starring Sean Bean. Our production, Base, won't be (though having Sean Bean on board would sure help). We're heading to Alton, Hampshire on Saturday to take care of the pre-pr...

Put That in Your Frame and Shoot it...

We promised James Gunn's God that we'd blog more, lest he strike us down or resurrect L. Ron Hubbard or something equally horrendous. So today has been a weird one for us. Good weird, not the other ki...

Cherry popped

Hi allI've just discovered that as a company, we have neglected to post a blog. It may be a bit awkward, bumbling, messy and a little too short for your pleasure - but one has to loose ones virginity ...
