We’re proud to say that we’ve just been admitted onto the BBC’s Independent Production Company suppliers list. Although that is great news, all it really means is that the hard work starts here to actually bag a commission! Fingers crossed and wish us luck.
We’re on the look out for new offices in Brighton!
Exciting news from Hollywood
We’ve been quiet here at Summer Rain Films HQ, after all there has been a global pandemic, but, we have been busy: In both 2020 and 2021 we provided post production services to numerous films for BBC Sport; cut a short film and even a feature film! More on those soon, but we just wanted to start off my showing off our creative director Jonathan Glendening and his new laurels.
Jonathan’s original comedy feature screenplay ‘Mr Frosty’ has now won seven screenwriting awards at festivals around the world!
We at Summer Rain Films are delighted to share the news that our very own producer Archie Kalyana has joined the BBC. Archie, who won an Asian Woman of Achievement award in 2019 for her work in media and Sports production has joined the BBC as a Cricket Producer - Diversity. Archie will be based at MediaCity in Salford but her work will continue to see her travelling the nation & regions and even the world. Sadly, her new permanent position means Archie has left Summer Rain Films, but we wish her all the success in the world, our loss is the BBC’s huge gain.
New showreel for David Rees Talbot
Summer Rain Films was excited to continue their relationship with Kallidus to produced a series of exciting and dramatic training films for the Ladbrokes Coral group. The films were written and directed by feature film director Jonathan Glendening to be incorporated to the high-end digital training created by Kallidus. Using up to three cameras simultaneously Jonathan captured ‘a day in the life’ of a branch of Coral and Ladbrokes and how they deal with scenarios such as assault, theft and armed robbery. The project was shot by Tom J.Kelly on locations in central London. The thirty minute drama shot over only two days was then edited at Summer Rain Films for HD delivery.
We've been busy at Summer Rain Films, so busy we've neglected the blog and news pages! To make up for this here is the new 2018 showreel to catch up with all our exciting recent projects before we update the news feed.

“Summer Rain did an outstanding job delivering the training video for Christmas 2017 at Wyevale Garden Centres. Faced with little planning time, incredibly tricky filming conditions & a complicated edit, they produced a fantastic film that really brought Christmas to life for everyone across our estate”
