In late 2020 we continued to adapt to new ways of working amidst Covid-19 and had lots of exciting projects taking place. We were excited to be working with some great partners on a range of events throughout Autumn 2020.
Make a Scene: Scream-A-Long Scream
After partnering on two really successful national tour as part of BFI Musicals, we were so excited to be working with our good friends at Make a Scene Film Club again. This time supporting their Halloween activity.
Audiences joined the Make A Scene crew for a virtual online watch-a-long to the 90s horror classic Scream. Those who bought tickets received a link and password for a big Zoom party celebrating this post-modern self-aware slasher. There were drag appearances, scares, surprises, audience interaction, games and more.

Asunder National Film Tour
We also continued to take bookings for our national tour of Asunder, by filmmaker Esther Johnson.
Asunder tells the story of what happened to an English town during the First World War, with almost all of its men fighting abroad and its women and children left behind.
The film could be booked through us directly or via the Cinema For All booking scheme. We designed this as a low-risk event for venues and community cinemas trying to get back on their feet amidst local lockdowns.
