The Comedian – Trinity takes a chance on young debut feature filmmaker

22nd October 2012

THE COMEDIAN is directed by an exciting new voice in British cinema. Made by first feature filmmaker, TOM SHKOLNIK, the film was a contender in the First Feature Competition (the Sutherland Award) and nominated for Best British Newcomer.

Already established as a sucessful and very talented short-film filmmaker, Trinity is delighted that they were able to help realise Tom's dream and executive produce his first feature film.

Using improvised dialogue and shot on the streets of London, Shkolink was able to make a film that was stripped down to its bear essentials. "I hoped that by doing this we would be able to capture some kind of raw and truthful portrait", says Shkolnik.

 THE COMEDIAN is about Ed (Edward Hogg)  who is at a crossroads in his life. In his early thirties, his unrewarding job in a call centre is getting more and more frustrating, while his career as a stand-up is not taking off in the way he hoped it would; in fact, he’s starting to acknowledge he might not be a very good comedian. Ed’s feelings are conflicted when he realises that he is drawn to someone else.

"The Comedian is funny, touching and true, presenting characters who are recognisable and real, while depicting London with reflective honesty". (Michael Hayden).

THE COMEDIAN is due to be released in 2013.

Trailer coming soon

Monty Pythons,TERRY JONES and MICHAEL PALIN were on top form, jovial and expectedly quite silly, at the Cult Gala premiere of A LIAR'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY last night, the 3D animation feature based on the memoirs of Graham Chapman.

Held at the iconic Empire Leicester Square, the red carpet was laid and the Hunks were at the ready to escort female Python, Carole Cleveland.

Showcasing the talents of 14 animation studios, and five Pythons (including the dead one), 'A Liar's Autobiography' is a fabricated, animated biopic based on the unreliable memoirs of the late Graham Chapman (in case you didn't already know).

Graham Chapman was gazing on us with miliary-like attention.

And if that wasn't enough, Graham look-alikes were conjuring up the spirit and energy of his past lives (characters).

The 1300 seater cinema was filled almost to the brim with 3D glasses laughing and cheering away, especially when an impromptu group, the Gay Men’s chorus suddenly stood up to sing the contagious “Sit On My Face”.

The evening came to a close with an animated after party for VIP guests joined by the likes of comedians and actors including Sanjeev Bashkar, Barry Cryer (who also appears in the film), Tom Hollander, Chris Morris and others.

I Will Tell - are you listening?

24th August 2011

LONDON RIVER plays at the I Will Tell International Film Festival on Wednesday 31st August at 13.30 in the Best of the Fest category.

Showcasing an array of films from around the globe, the festival is a unique event which aims to inspire and empower everyone who attends. Running from the 30th August to 9th September, the theme of the festival is the ‘F’ word – no, don’t think Gordon Ramsay, think Forgiveness. Designed to stimulate conversation around a topic that is all too easily overlooked in a busy world, the festival is packed full of films and workshops to get folks talking about ideas and stories that would otherwise remain untold.
The festival itself is a non-for-profit event, whose proceeds go towards helping those who cannot tell their stories. Only 5 years out of the starting block, we hope this year is a huge success and continues to grow and drive conversation.

Monty Python – A Liar’s Autobiography

29th June 2011

After over two decades Monty Python has begun production on a reunion project, which has been co-financed, and will be distributed, by Trinity Film. Their final foray will be an animated 3D adaptation of Graham Chapman’s A LIAR’S AUTOBIOGRAPHY. Originally published in 1980, the book details Chapman’s journey from medical school to his work in comedy to grabbling with his sexual identity.
 
                              

Using the voice recordings Chapman completed before his death, he lives on in the film as his dialogue is matched up with new recordings laid down by the likes of Terry Gilliam (above). Starring old hats, such as John Cleese and Michael Pallin, each Python takes on numerous roles, in typically hilarious fashion, to make up the montage of scenes.

Over 15 different animation companies are working on the new movie, each completing scenes of varying lengths, promising to bring together an eclectic range of styles. Producer Jeff Simpson has commented: “Creatively, the different styles reflect the stages in Graham’s life. Also, it saves us a lot of time!”

"I am delighted to find myself working with [Chapman] again on this exciting project" says Terry Jones, though added, in what seems fitting with the Python's reputation, "I had no idea until recently that Graham Chapman is in fact dead—I thought he was just being lazy!"

 
The film is due to be completed and ready for release by Spring next year and by all accounts it shouldn’t fail to live up to the legacy they left behind.

SIGN UP to be kept informed of the production's latest developments.

Trinity X shows its true colours

1st April 2011

Trinity X is thrilled to be launching its activities by working with exciting British director Simon Rumley on the UK release of his latest film RED WHITE & BLUE.

Voted as one of the best films of 2010 in many of the leading horror and genre publications and polls, RED WHITE & BLUE is described by Simon Rumley as “not so much a horror film as a terror film”.

It’s a raw, relentless and harrowing revenge chiller starring Amanda Fuller (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and Noah Taylor (Submarine, The Proposition, Almost Famous, Vanilla Sky). The film follows Erica, a tough troubled nymphomaniac as she sleeps with a series of nameless men in a backwater Texan town and Nate, a veteran of the Gulf War who befriends her. Erica’s actions lead to a horrifying and shocking climax which has stunned audiences worldwide. Hard-edged and uncompromising, the film has been compared to the works of disparate filmmakers such as Larry Clark, Sam Peckinpah, Wes Craven and Alfred Hitchcock.
