ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT? NO!

It’s been quite a while since our last update so we thought we’d bring you some January news in case anyone wondered what we’ve been up to. Well as it happens, quite a lot actually and our NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION is to update this rather more often!

We got this newsblog off to a flying start in March last year and then ground to a blogging halt. So where to begin…

Charity Work:
Well most recently, in December, we were approached by OXFAM to produce a new online film encouraging women to ‘Get Together’ for women everywhere on INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY. Go on, it’s on 8^TH MARCH.

The film was our second collaboration of the year with the charity having produced GLEN, GARY & ROSS for them in July to increase public awareness of the danger of ‘Land Grabs’.

You can see GLEN, GARY & ROSS below:

And GET TOGETHER below that… or visit www.oxfam.org.uk/womensday

Top Dogs:
Lots of people have been asking about our feature film projects so here’s what we’re allowed to tell you. Having big name actors attached is never easy. If you think organising a date in the diary to get a few old friends together is tricky, try scheduling a two-month shoot that works for top talent young and old… we shall prevail in 2012!

Oh and we can tell you we have a major distributor attached and the finance in place but that’s all I can say… shhhh.

Big Cats:
In August we set about taking pictures of big cats, jaguars specifically for JRL and our friends at PALMER HARGREAVES in Leamington. Our work on the JAGUAR promo below led to another successful collaboration in October for LAND ROVER which saw us putting them under close surveillance and tracking their cars to the end of the world and back.

Pitching In:
Last but not least, I know a few of you were hoping that by now we might have reopened our submission form - at least the budding and existing film and television writers among you. Sadly I’m afraid we’re just so busy with our internal projects, and realising some of the great features we’ve been working towards. That means our factory doors will have to stay shut a little longer but as soon as we start crossing these projects off we’ll be on the look out for more I’m sure!

Oh and we’re sure we’ve missed lots out – perhaps we should update a bit more often!

BIGGEST EVER BRUM FILM?

Following on from our visit to the studios on Friday, BRMB posted an article which asks the question could DOGS OF LAW be the biggest ever film to originate in Birmingham?It's both a bold and flattering statement. If we could come even half as close as the hype we would be very proud indeed. Check out the full article on their website here:http://www.brmb.co.uk/news/headlines/biggest-ever-brum-film/

VIDEO MADE THE RADIO STAR

It’s been a busy birthday week at Infinite Wisdom as we’ve been celebrating the start of our fifth year in business with exciting news about our film and television projects.

Hot on the trail of finance, Infinite Wisdom producer MICHAEL FORD has been busy meeting with sales agents and distributors for the company’s forthcoming feature film but still found time to take over the airwaves.

107.7 THE WOLF started the ball rolling in Michael’s home city of Wolverhampton on Thursday, announcing the search for local entrepreneurs or sporting personalities looking to invest in local film.

Today Michael headed over to the BRMB Studios on Broad Street to talk to Dan Dawson on 96.4 FM about the latest developments. Michael was there to spread the word about DOGS OF LAW and ask for wealthy investors to get in touch and get involved in the booming British Film Industry.

BEST OF BRITISH: Luke Evans and Robert Carlyle to star in 'Dogs of Law'

Birmingham based producer MICHAEL FORD is hoping to take his place in the thick of the UK Film Industry with his first feature starring some of Britain’s best talent.

Trained at Wolverhampton’s Light House Media Centre, Michael set up his own production company INFINITE WISDOM four years ago and hasn’t looked back. As the company celebrates its 4th Birthday this week Michael is busy preparing for an exciting new era with the launch of the company’s first feature film project.

DOGS OF LAW is a £2.3 million action thriller due to go into production in the Summer and stars THE FULLY MONTY’S ROBERT CARLYLE alongside rising star LUKE EVANS. Luke was last seen alongside Gemma Arterton in Stephen Frear’s TAMARA DREWE, and is soon to headline the latest big screen adaptation of THE THREE MUSKETEERS starring as one of the legendary trio.

In DOGS OF LAW Evans plays an undercover cop investigating a corrupt fellow officer (Carlyle) as he seeks revenge on the same gang his partner is being paid to protect.

Developed with support from regional screen agency SCREEN WEST MIDLANDS, the film is being cast by the same force behind the Oscar winning SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE and hit Brit comedy FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL.

Infinite Wisdom is now actively seeking wealthy local investors to help finance production and share in the film’s success. Almost a third of the money is already lined up and the film is drawing a lot of interest from the industry since it was announced last week.

The company is looking for anyone from successful entrepreneurs to local sporting personalities with an interest in the bright lights of the British Film Industry to get in touch.

You can find out more on the company’s website http://www.iwisdom.co.uk/ or call 0121 233 9888.

The film’s producer Michael Ford said “Dogs of Law is a far cry from the usual British costume drama. It’s a breakneck action film and we’re getting a great response from distributors and sales agents.”
