A new web series by Red on Black Productions.

21st October, 2011. The Rapture happens, as predicted earlier this year, but it’s not the fire and brimstone we’ve come to fear – it’s merely a routine earth upgrade which happens every century or so.

Season One of Raptured follows a lovelorn 30-something, Sarah Bailey, who is tricked into being in charge of the Rapture. Instead of the seamless upgrade that’s happened in the past, half the people have been left behind. It’s now Sarah’s job to make sure they make it over.

As taken from the Museum of Broken Relationships website, “the Museum of Broken Relationships grew from a traveling exhibition revolving around the concept of failed relationships and their ruins. Unlike ‘destructive’ self-help instructions for recovery from failed loves, the Museum offers a chance to overcome an emotional collapse through creation: by contributing to the Museum’s collection.

Conceptualized in Croatia by Olinka Vištica and Dražen Grubišić, the Museum has since toured internationally, amassing an amazing collection. Although often colored by personal experience, local culture and history, the exhibits presented here form universal patterns offering us to discover them and feel the comfort they can bring.”

The film is now part of the permanent exhibition in Zagreb, Croatia.

A small group of members of London’s Tuttle Club took the long way round to 2010′s SXSW interactive festival (SXSWi) in Austin, TX. They started off in Boston, MA in the first week in March and then took the train to NYC, Washington DC, Atlanta and New Orleans before driving from NOLA over to Austin in time for the SXSWi opening on March 12th.

In each of the cities they visited, they interviewed people from all walks of life to see how the Internet and social media has affected their lives – and what they would do if it was gone tomorrow.

This project is currently in the post-production stage.

This music video was entirely shot and edited on an iPhone 3GS for a video competition put on by Duke Special.

Starring Sophie Steel. Directed and filmed by Heather Taylor.

When people think hula hoops in the UK, the potato snack comes to mind. But recently, there has been a resurgance in the craze from the 50s when poodle skirted and slicked hair youth spent their time flicking and twirling a small plastic hoop.

Red on Black Productions’s new short documentary, The Hula-las, follows the hooping duo of the same name. Laura Kerr and Heidi .C. Mace weren’t always friends but have known each other since secondary school. After finishing their studies, they both found themselves in London and began hooping together as a hobby. Endless bumps and bruises later their hobby became an obsession, and now they perform, lead worskhops, and make and sell hoops.This short documentary documents their story.

Just a couple hours drive from the glorious Rocky Mountains, Edmonton is known for its big sky and endless sunshine. Located east of Vancouver and west of Toronto, Edmonton is in the heart of the Canadian Prairies and our city is often called upon to be the set for independent and Hollywood movies. With a population of one million people, Edmonton is a city that loves movies. It’s reported that the number one, per capita, movie rental city in Canada is Edmonton. Need we say more? Oh yes, and we have the world’s largest shopping mall — West Edmonton Mall.

For nine days each autumn, Edmontonians feast on cinema. The Edmonton International Film Festival is a buffet of fantastic, independent films from around the globe. Whatever the genre, EIFF programmers search the world over for the most highly entertaining films that exhibit great storytelling qualities.

EIFF encourages all filmmakers whose films have been selected, along with films we’ve solicited, to attend the festival. Over the years, we’ve had the pleasure of hosting John Waters, Norman Jewison, Deepa Mehta, Jorgen Leth, Arthur Hiller, Anne Wheeler, Werner Herzog, Don McKellar and more.
