Man in a Cat screening at Light House

We've had two screenings of our animated short All Consuming love (Man in a Cat) so far, and now there's a screening at Wolverhampton's Light House cinema on Tuesday, 5 April. In even better news, it's free to the public, so you can come along, see the film and watch the five other Digishorts filmed commissioned along with ours.

Here's what's going on:

On Tuesday 5 April from 7pm the Light House in Wolverhampton will be screening six short films made by the most exciting filmmaking talent emerging from the West Midlands region. In partnership with the UK Film Council, Digishorts was a yearly scheme run by Screen WM offering West Midlands based filmmakers and animators the opportunity to produce innovative and striking short digital films. In its eighth and final year, the slate of films produced demonstrate regional filmmaking at its strongest.

I think we'll be doing another panel discussion after the screening and we'll be hanging around for a little afterwards to have a chat, so do come and say hi.

To book a free place at the screening, email ayesha@light-house.co.uk.

See you there!

Viva Los Birmingham

Man In A Cat's set in Birmingham dontcha know? More specifically New Oscott - it's got a big Tesco.

Hmm... If you count all of those trees I'd say there were more trees per capita then any other city in the UK (Sutton Park skews the figures).

A Little Peek

You've all been incredibly patient waiting for Man In A Cat to raise it's misunderstood head. So, here's a little pic to tide you over while we do the final push.

Yorkie Online!

Our favourite cat dwelling hermit has got hold of a phone and is now preoccupying himself online and making a few friends on Facebook.

Man In A Cat Dialogue Recording

Ah, the days when people wore just one layer... Here's us recording with Kevin Eldon, Josie Long and Isabel Fay for Man In A Cat:

Say hello to Kevin, Josie and Isabel

Well flip me sideways we confirmed a very special cast to fill the roles of Yorkie, Susan and Michelle!

First up is the genius Kevin Eldon, who has appeared in almost every sitcom and sketch show worth it's weight in gold for the past 20 years.

Kevin came to fame on Lee & Herring's TV shows with the characters Simon Quinlack and False Rod Hull, you probably best know him from Big Train, Blue Jam, or one of the seemingly infinite guest appearances which captured your imagination for the 5 minutes he was on screen.

This man is ingrained in my comedy DNA.


Josie Long is possibly the best female stand-up comedian in the UK right now, she's certainly the most heart-warming. As well as the slew of panel shows she was also a regular co-writer for Skins.

The first time I saw Josie Long live was in 2007 at a corporate party at the Edinburgh Fringe, she got us all to sit cross legged around the small stage. It was lovely.




Isabel Fay is a fantastic comic actor who is part of internet comedy production outfit, Clever Pie. She's been in E4 sketch show, Dog Face, BBC's How Not To Live Your Life, and has already acted with Kevin Eldon before.



For those who still don't know their cheese from their beans, here's just some of the many faces of Kevin Eldon.

Dice Interview In The Birmingham Mail

In their infinite wisdom, the Birmingham Mail decided to have a good old chat with us about all things Dice Productions, Popcorn Comedy and Man in a Cat. Hooray!

You can read it in full by clicking here.

In summary, Ian said that we're planning to move to Belgium to become industrial cleaners, specialising in discontinued abattoir equipment. He said: "Frankly, running a comedy night like Popcorn, writing comedy, and making an animated short film about a man inside a cat has taken its toll." Biting his nails profusely, Ian added: "Just leave me alone. I need to cry and pack my industrial scouring pads and medicinal vodka."

It's a compelling read.

Man In A Cat Updates On Their Way

We've been realising how many firsts and blummin' cool things are going to be in Man In A Cat that you don't even know about yet! More videos and updates to come later this month. Meanwhile here's three, count 'em, three explosions!

Cat Blog Mentions 'All Consuming Love'

SacroBirmania.com - an Italian website that belongs to a cat - has kindly 'paw'sted (groan) about 'All Consuming Love'. 

It's interesting that there are very few people out there in the badlands of YouTube who like both, cute cat videos and watching men rumaging inside cats. 

Considering that SacroBirmania.com belongs to a cat, maybe YouTube's masses should wait a second  just before firing off their wisdom bullets. Ask your cat what their view is. While films about cat related love triangles may seem obscure to us humans, pre-production for this film involved some of the world's most meticulous scientists, sensative equipment and about the broadest range of oppinionated cats known to man (Arnold Plotnick). 

So let there be no mistake, it is scientific truth that cats '... Can't get enough of this shit.' - their words not mine.

ANOTHER YouTube Feature + Cue for Music Composer

WTFs, LOLs and ROFLs are being banded around like nobody's business as the trailer for All Consuming Love (Man In A Cat) gets featured on YouTube. That makes two features in two weeks! If you can't see it being featured, that because it's featured 'Globally' and not in Britain... You'll have to ask YouTube how that one works.

The trailer does feature the opening score to Forest Gump. That was done as a last minute choice as things had got stuck with my sound designer at the time and the music does actually suit quite nicely. So, he next thing will be to get a lovely sound designer onboard and get all that sorted out.

All Consuming Love (Man in a Cat) Trailer

Here's the lastest glimpse of the upcoming film, All Consuming Love (Man in a Cat). Should be a good'un when it's done.

'All Consuming Love' poster

Here's the flyer of what Louis' been working on for the last 9 months. Tagline - 'Coming out of a cat's ass near you...' It also doubles as a lovely postcard, so now you can inform both distant friends and estranged relatives about the pros and cons of potential beastiality attacks. Useful AND entertaining!
