Blueprint: Film smell the scent of success

Terrace based Blueprint: Film are a dynamic and vibrant film production company working throughout both the community and corporate sectors, however they are also unique as they are the only production company in the region to also be professionally 'creative' and work on innovative short and feature films which create success and interest from all over the world.
Blueprint: Film also receive massive support and backing from the UK Film Council, local screen agencies and authorities and now have two offices – one in Barton, North Lincolnshire and another in the heart of Lincolns city centre.
On the creative route Blueprint: Film are riding high with their latest short film, ‘Scent’ which was funded by Screen Yorkshire and the UK Film Council. Written and Directed by Immingham born Darren Bolton, ‘Scent’ follows the harrowing tale of John, an elderly man gripped with grief following the death of his wife Patricia. Unable to accept his loss John keeps her death a secret, choosing instead to keep Patricia’s body at home in bed. This quiet, sensitive film explores themes of love, loss and denial through a delicate observation of what is essentially a heart breaking, yet most intriguing situation.
‘Scent’ has got off to an amazing start on the festival circuit having recently screened as part of the Official Competition at the 26th European Film Festival in Lille and premiering at London Short Film Festival in January. And the success continues to grow as, ‘Scent’ has now also been accepted into two major local film festivals - Bradford International Film Festival where it will screen this Sunday and Monday (21st/22nd March) and also GLIMMER: The 8th Hull International Short Film Festival where it will be entered into the best Yorkshire Short Competition on Sunday 25th April - Which Blueprint: Film also won last year with their previous short film ‘Vigilante’.
And it that’s not enough confirmation has just been received that, ‘Scent’ will screen at the prestigious Newport Beach Film Festival in California, USA in April which attracts in excess of 50,000 people and also, ‘Scent’ will screen at London’s popular East End Film Festival in May, so as you can tell it’s a very exciting and busy few months.
This has solidified artistic director Darren Bolton’s company Blueprint: Film in its place as a professional, vibrant and innovative film company on the international film stage. Definitely the ones to watch this year!
