The Making of  ‘Scenes of a Sexual Nature’
A unique two day course on how a film with a budget of only £260k
attracted a-list actors and gained a nationwide release.

‘I love the fact that they cut out all the middle men’  Ewan McGregor

Learn how ‘Scenes of a Sexual Nature’ was made for only £260K, yet starred amongst others Ewan McGregor and Catherine Tate.  The raising of finance, attaching an A-list cast and shooting the entire 90 minute film, took less than six weeks. It became the ‘most successful self-distributed release in the UK’ (Screen International).

Over one weekend this February the director, producers, and heads of department are giving a two-day course explaining how it was done.  The course will outline one clear but adaptable model on how to successfully produce, shoot, edit and distribute a low budget film.

Meet the Producers, Casting Director, Director of Photography, Editor, Lawyer  and Investors. They will be available to answer questions throughout the weekend.

Cannes

We had a fantastic turnout at all three screenings of the film. At the first two showings over thirty people were turned away from the cinema.  Even our last screening at 9.30am on the Tuesday was full.

'Screen International' mentioned this was one of the British films which had a 'buzz' about it and The Hollywood Reporter noted that 'Scenes' was 'one of the hottest tickets at the market'.
