Massive congratulations to our leading lady, Janie Dee, for her Olivier Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress for 'NSFW' at the Royal Court.

THE BATHROOM - A SHORT FILM

Scorched Spoon Productions Ltd. is pleased to announce that it is developing a short film by acclaimed playwright Sam Peter Jackson for production and completion in Spring 2013.

Scorched Spoon Productions Ltd. is an independent British production company run by sister and brother team Louise E Hollamby and Alexander Hollamby. We believe that the quality of a film starts
and ends with a great story and are making our debut feature film, LOSS AND FOUND, because it possesses exactly that.

This is a highly personal film, set in Lincoln - close to the area in which we grew up - which gives us the chance to give something back to a community that has faced challenging economic and social conditions over recent years.

In this - as with all of our work - we want to utilise the very best of home grown talent and showcase it to a worldwide audience. Through partnership with the University of Lincoln, local businesses and product placement deals with quality British brands, we can combine to make LOSS AND FOUND a film which satisfies twin aims of artistic integrity and commercial success.

We are currently in post-production for our first short film, THE BATHROOM - written and to be directed by talented playwright Sam Peter Jackson (Public Property) with acclaimed photographer Chris Clor as our Director of Photography. This ten minute short film was shot entirely on location 
in London with completion due by the end of April 2013.
