Wasteland - The Cast

Although making a feature film can be a challenging process to go through, it can be so much fun, especially when you've got a great cast bonds are formed and friendships are made. Wasteland has been no different in that respect. Whether it was Shameer Seepersand putting in long hours from the start of the project or Mark Drake, Rachel Benson Jessica Messenger who have all done a fanastic job coming into the project and making it one that we are all so very proud of.

Here in this video the two actors playing the central characters of Scott and Beth talk about the experience of making Wasteland.

Cannes Film Festival Success

Striking Gold at Cannes!

We, the production team, are back in good old Blighty following our recent trip to Cannes Film Festival where we represented our recently produced feature film Wasteland. After 4, very long, working days in back-to-back meetings with global sales agents and distributors, we have returned with some fantastic news.

Cannes

Wasteland and plenty of talent...

As you probably know, Wasteland is a post-apocolyptic zombie film with a lot of emotion and romance. The trailers show a great balance of the film's content, and whilst we focus heavily on the creative content, look and feel of what we're capable of here at Light Films we must not forget the outstanding talent and commitment shown by lead actor Shameer Seepersand who's performance was showered with compliments from global sales agents. Don't get me wrong, the film looks fantastic (particularly for its budget) but Shameer's ability to engage the viewer and make them love and care for him is out of this world; for this to come across in the trailer at this level of filmmaking is incredibly rare.

Chrissa collecting her pass to the all important Film Du MarcheThe meetings...

Each and every meeting was a positive one, and we were faced with a choice of who to sell our film to. We didn't get a single decline, and now have the difficult job of deciding which deal will be the best for the company and the film itself. The information we were given was so incredibly constructive, and we gained an excellent insight into the business side of the show business industry.

So... Show biz! Is it ruthless? Yep! Is it cut-throat? Absolutely. Does it suffer fools? Absolutely not.

Thankfully, my experience in the business side of our company shone through in all the meetings and it won us meetings with some of the hardest to obtain agents. We have always been proud of the balance between creative and business in our team at Light Films, but never more than now.

So what does this mean for us and for the film?

The decision about the film's distribution will take place over the coming weeks. Once it's been made there will be another announcement... Keep your eyes peeled!

Tom Wadlow

Director

Our clients feel incredibly safe with Tom and have firm knowledge that his work for them will always be of incredible value and quality. Why? Well, there is nothing our clients can ask Tom about film that he can't answer. He has the largest library of film knowledge stored in his mind!

As a child Tom begged his Dad for Kickboxer and Blood Sport videos. His Dad, fortunately, denied his request and bought him "Vertigo" and "North by North West". These Hitchcock classics not only inspired Tom, but left him with so many questions he carried on watching these legendary films. It's because of this genuine interest and intrigue into filmmaking that Tom decided, from a very young age, that he would be a film director. Little did he know at this stage what wonderful opportunities awaited him in the States...

Tom studied at the University of Derby and graduated in 2003. In 2004 he left the sunny UK for the gloomy state of California, where he studied at Universal Studios in Los Angeles towards a post-graduate qualification in filmmaking and directing. In 2006 Tom returned to the UK to set up Light Films as a film production house that had the ambition of Universal Studios with incredibly low budgets generated from commercial projects.

Tom is a rare breed of Film Director. He has incredible business management skills, from his many years as Managing Director of Light Films. Tom holds the magic formula for making a high budget production from low budgets, and this is evident from both is corporate and independent film work.

Tom has directed and exectively produced many independent films, and has worked on many large films too including The Duchess and Doom. He is in high-demand receiving many Director and Filmmaker requests daily, for a full list of credits click here.

Feature Films Intro

Feature Films

In 2011, we took the plunge from producing short films to producing feature films. It was a huge risk, with massive and impressive amounts of effort put in from everyone involved from the actors through to the make-up and art departments... Wasteland, our first ever feature, has seen global success and really spurred us on to produce more.

We have since continued to make good use of the passion we have to embark on several projects... There are always highs and lows, which are usually around the financing of projects but where possible we continue fuelled by pure love and enjoyment of filmmaking.
