With the new Candle & Bell website newly launched and I realised that it’s been an awful long time since I posted about the personal journey of running Candle & Bell. 

Elsewhere, a short film written and directed by Andy Berriman, and produced by Candle & Bell, has been selected for the Dublin International Short Film and Music Festival and the Nottingham International Film Festival 2018.

Huge and deserved congratulations to the exceedingly talented Director of Photography Diana Olifirova as she is recognised by The British Society of Cinematographers for excellence as an emerging cinematographer for her work on Strange Cities are Familiar.

Strange Cities Are Familiar, written and directed by Saeed Taji Farouky and produced by Candle & Bell, has been selected for the Scandinavian International Film Festival, and the Boston Palestine Film Festival.

We’re very please to announce that Candle & Bell have once again been commissioned by the North East Culture Partnership to produce a video, showcasing the on-going investment in arts and culture venues across the North East.

We’re delighted to have been commissioned by Northumberland County Council to create video capturing all the events during Great Northumberland 2018.

Take a look behind the scenes on our Creative England funded short STINE.

Candle & Bell are looking forward to a busy six months as four short films enter pre-production. The films are Metroland by Benjamin Bee, STINE by Kat Wood, Elsewhere by Andy Berriman and Strange Cities Are Familiar by Saeed Taji Farouky.
