The film looks at how the islands cope with the huge influx of day trippers from the cruise ships that visit the islands regularly. These visits are a huge driver for the local economy which has seen the […]

On the face of […]

We’re pleased to announce that we have taken delivery of a brand new Sony FS7 Super 35mm 4k film camera. We have pensioned off our mush loved Panasonic HPX250, which we were sad to part with.

As such we are strongly pro-remain, but as Wild Dog’s Producer/Director […]
