Tomorrow evening at 7pm see’s the internet premiere of Surrealist Studios’ new film - Ghosts of Versailles. This unique, spooky film is our shortest film to date at 1min 20secs and also one of our most experimental, yet we have tried to pack an immense amount of detail both visually and audibly.

Visit surrrealiststudios.com at 7pm on this Saturday (tommorow) at 7pm to watch the film online. The film will appear on video sharing websites including YouTube later that night.

Below is the logo for the new film.

Our new film Place & Object is infact a collection of 5 experimental micro films in sequence, very different from our previous films. The micro films are called -

Parallel Lines
Blender
Composition in Blue
Pipe Dreams
Vacant Room

It will be released on Monday 19th January at 7pm GMT on our website and on YouTube shortly after.

Surrealist Studios is still going!

Yes, apologies for the lack of updates on Surrealist Studios.

Firstly, I find it hard to believe how far Surrealist Studios has come. The Surrealist Studios website was launched on 30th August 2004 complete with our short films ready to watch online and download. Thats over 4 years ago! To put this in perspective, YouTube was only launched in 2005 and that kickstarted the online video revolution. Now, in 2008, it is an extremely saturated market with millions of low-budget and homemade short films on thousands of websites. Of course Surrealist Studios has changed too, 5 new films and one recent complete website redesign along with on-going improvements to our online film player. Outside of our website we’ve got all our films on more than YouTube, 16 other video-sharing websites to be precise. On YouTube alone we’ve had 33,949 video views. On this website we have had 551,809 unique visitors since August 2006. That’s over half a million unique visitors in just over 2 years. So once again, thank you for all your support.

Secondly, our latest film Not Now Bernard, which we released earlier this year has performed well and we didn’t quite expect it to be so well received.

So, currently we are working on a film that we hope to shoot this December/January time. So you can expect to have the film launched on this website in Febuary. As always, we’ll try to keep you update and let you in on some more about the new film. Keep an eye on our Blog (www.blog.surrealiststudios.com) or sign-up to our newsletter at www.surrealiststudios.com/newsletter

It’s been a while since we’ve posted anything on the website, however we have been hard at work on a new film.

On Friday May 9th 2008 we will release the brand new film on our website and YouTube.

We’re quite excited and we think you’ll like this one as it’s probably one of the best films we’ve made.

We’re not going to give anything away just yet but stay tuned as we will be releasing stills, some info and the actual title of the film on the run up to the release. All will be posted here and the main website.

Watching and Waiting is finally being released next week. It will premiere on the Surrealist Studios website on Wednesday 21st February at 7pm at the following address - www.surrealiststudios.com/watchingandwaiting

As well as that, we are also launching our new look website on the same day.

If you haven’t seen the trailer for Watching and Waiting yet you can see it at www.surrealiststudios.com/watchingandwaiting

Firstly thank you for those who have watched our two new films (Circle Line and Castles in Spain). They have had large amounts of views here on our website and on other video sites. We have received the largest amount of traffic to our website yet!

We would like to announce that soon we will be releasing another new film called Watching and Waiting. The film is near completion. Today we have put the official trailer for the film onto the site you may watch the trailer at

The Mongtrix has been officially delayed, as you can probably guess.

We aim to start filming July 2006 and release it by Autumn/Fall 2006.

We are sorry about this and will launch some new micro films in the New Year on the website.

Remember we are still looking for crew and extra’s for The Mongtrix - http://getinvolved.surrealiststudios.co.uk.

We will update you on the micro films in the next couple of months.

Surrealist Studios is proud to announce that work has begun on our new film - The Mongtrix. This film is going to be a spoof of the Hollywood sci-fi hit - The Matrix.

This film is going to be extremely different from all our other films, it is on a much larger scale - more locations, more actors and very expensive. It is also of a completely different genre to our three other films. The film will still be produced and directed by myself (Sam Vincent) and Max.

We are not going to give anything away about the storyline yet but we can promise lots of laughs, most of The Matrix special effects and good acting.

The Mongtrix is still a short film, we haven’t gone feature length yet. We anticipate it to be under 18 minutes.

Filming starts from the beginning of August 2005 and check out our blog for information on filming locations and the dates of filming. It is going to be filmed in the City of Bath in the South West of the UK. Also additional filming locations in surrounding towns.

Eventually there will be a Behind the Scenes documentary on The Mongtrix DVD when it is released and on the website for public viewing too.

If haven’t realised we are still looking for extra’s to be part of The Mongtrix,

Today (3/2/05) Woodlands and Surrealist Studios was featured in the Bath Chronicle. It included a photo and information about how we made the film and other production notes plus references about this website. Click here to see the article and picture.

Hey guys, the forum and site has been a little quiet recently so I felt I better update you on things here at Surrealist Studios. 2005 is hopefully going to be a good year, here are somethings you might want to look foward to.

The biggest being The Visitor. This is our latest horror film and the production side of it is nearing completion and we should be going into the editing stage very soon. We are looking at a March release for Surrealist Studios.co.uk and hopefully a trailer in the next couple of weeks. The Visitor is kept simple like Wastelands, about six minutes long (under half the length of Woodlands) and the most exciting bit about it is that it is a silent film and has just a completely original soundtrack (spooky piano music). More details will be posted soon. It is quite a short film so we don’t want to give too much away about the storyline so you will just have to wait for the trailer. We are currently developing The Visitor area of this website.

Secondly is mostly about the website. We are completely redeveloping the look of Surrealist Studios TV because I personally hate it. So expect a much more streamline look plus it being a whole lot easier to use sometime during February.

We thought that there is going to be quite a long gap between the release of Woodlands and The Visitor so we are going to add some VIDEO DOCUMENTARIES/INTERVIEWS to the website. Nothing too serious or too long but I think they are going to be more humourous rather than informative. But it fills the gap and keeps you happy.

So thats about it, 2005 is looking good and I can assure you The Visitor won’t be the only film we will be doing this year. Oh yeah and don’t forget about the forum, its been a little quiet as well recently - forum.surrealiststudios.co.uk. Stay in touch guys, comments, scripts, suggestions, problems, press queries still to info@surrealiststudios.co.uk
