PRODUCTIONS

CUE TUBE PICTURES WORKS WITH EXPERIENCED PARTNERS TO PRODUCE PROFESSIONAL FILMS FOR COMPOSERS AND SOUND DESIGNERS Launched in 2023, Cue Tube Pictures is our professional film production arm, dedicated to providing professionally-produced films for composers and sound designers, and educators.  Opportunities exist to support our productions, to be part of them and, of course, to benefit from the resources that they generate.  These resources are world-class films for developing skills, a portfolio, visibility within the film industry.  Our productions create opportunities for you to work, for fair payment, on real films that go to festivals. We leverage our strengths (our community!) and create potent partnerships with talented filmmakers, to make the magic happen.  Our productions happen in a range of different ways, enabling us to bring a wide variety of productions to our community and benefit from people doing what they do best, as we grow in experience and resources as a production company. Our first film, where we cut our teeth as producers, was made in partnership with Four of Wands Productions and was a lightly comedic, touching drama set in a very English care home.  Activities of Daily Living, which stars Game of ThronesTara Fitzgerald, was funded largely by our community.  You can watch the finished production, with a superb score by community member, Finnish composer Ilmo Korhonen, here.  We ran a composer opportunity among our community, vying for the job of scoring this important first production, resulting in Ilmo’s selection. Going forward, our productions will be funded, and conducted, in different ways.  This enables us to be involved in a wide variety of types of film.  Our involvement will range from simply supporting existing productions, in return for exclusive access to resources, through to complete in-house productions such as our first film. PRODUCTIONS CURRENTLY UNDER DEVELOPMENT (2024)
  • FORTUNA – documentary short film.  The UK team flew out in July and completed principal photography in August in Brazil, documenting the story of Gabriel Lott, wing-suit pilot and police sniper.  We are making this team in partnership with Casa Cobra and director Max Bartholomew.
    • PROGRESS:  The film is currently in production.  Principal photography was completed in August 2024 and post production is scheduled to take place in Q3 2024.
    • OPPORTUNITY TO BE PART OF FORTUNA.  We are creating a sound department under the stewardship of Brazilian-Italian composer Mariana Calegari and Cue Tube composer Archie Jennings.  We ran an opportunity through August 2024 to submit to be part of this project and we are currently (Sep 2024) reviewing submissions from composers from around the world, including France, Italy, Serbia, USA, Canada, Greece, Brasil and UK.  The team will curate an authentic soundscape that captures and conveys the sounds and atmosphere of Brazil, as well as the narrative of the film.  Details were posted on our YouTube channel here, including composer ‘task’ and submission document, as we build a sound department to help complete the outstanding team working on this production.  This opportunity is now closed but we are raising further finance for post production through our Indiegogo campaign , which offers some great rewards for backing the project, and a special bundle of un-scored materials in our library.  Your support is hugely appreciated!
