‘The Sheriff’ has officially started post-production! The editing, VFX and sound teams are hard at work. Watch this space for future updates. We kick off with an excellent behind the scenes video produced by the talented Misha Panov!
People are in for a fun treat with this production, following on from the success of a project that the college was involved in last year called Maximus. The Sheriff (a 15-17 minute short film) will be premiere in 2023.
Director Ben Pryke said: “Students were heavily involved in the process supervised by heads of departments. We brought in a mixture of professionals to support us and the students on the level four film course have gained real life work opportunities. Two have worked with a Hollywood director and our storyboard artist Hana Al-Aride has also been approached by a household name from the film world. Sadly we can’t name them until later in the year.
“The students have also been working with a company called Motion Impossible who worked on various high profile projects including Taylor Swift, Adele, Top Gear, Le Mans and Hollywood features. So the opportunities that have come from this have been amazing.”
Colin Ramsey, owner of DragonLight Films in Cambridge, and producer of the film, said: "People can expect a similar tone to Hot Fuzz and Mall Rats for this short comedy drama."
