This arm of ZB was established in 2001/2002.
When we met at sixth form college in ‘95 we worked on a film idea called
‘They Came For A Day’. Four years later we embarked on Filmstock together and
also set about making films after that.
After several years working on other projects, we have returned to what
we love best and between Oct 2005 –Feb 2006 produced three new short films -
Clandestine (2006) 13 mins
It is said that the soul leaves the body through the back of the neck,
naturally, in death. And that it cannot leave, or be taken, until this time.
Clandestine is both a contemporary mystery and a homage to French crime
thrillers of the 1960's, set to the haunting sounds of 'Sigur Ros' and the cool
beats of 'Do Make Say Think'.
As It Stands Now (2006)
4mins
Shot in a day, edited in a
day. As It Stands Now is an experimental tale of love and longing, but is
anyone who they first seem?
Originally intended as an
informal film challenge between a group of friends and a trial run for
Clandestine this became a film in its own right just as we started shooting.
The Inspiration
Envelope (2006) Doc, 4mins
Courage, Concentration,
Cross Country. Justin returns to high school to beat his demon, in this case,
the dreaded cross-country run.

Crazed in equal measure.
Cocoa (2002)
Comedy, 4 minutes
A tribute to 70's Blaxploitation. This film trailer is based
on a featurette script by Neil that may or may not see the full light of day.
Cocoa has girls, guns, threads, a killer soundtrack and the best Afro this side
of 1975.
They Came For A Day (2002)
Comedy/Spoof, 19 minutes
An alien invasion in small town America, a beautiful damsel
in distress and a square jawed all American Hero, what more could you ask for?
They Came For A Day is both an authentic 50's B-Movie and homage to some of our
childhood memories.
