Our 2009 fan film lurks here for Tolkien bookworms and indie filmmakers. A true labour of love, we had a blast visualising a few moments in Middle-earth. Extremely excited now to hear about the new official Hunt for Gollum film that will be made!

And our film is back already! We’ve had an interesting day to say the least. Grateful to WB for being so gracious. & love also to all the Tolkien fans who remembered us. We’re very excited though that @andyserkis himself will be telling this new story. youtu.be/9H09xnhlCQU?si=tlyo…

We’re a bit surprised to see our film got blocked from YouTube, hope temporarily - we’re enquiring in case it can be reinstated as it’s clearly a non profit homage/fan effort. ❤️

After being up for 15 years and after accumulating over 13 million views, The Hunt For Gollum fan film on YouTube has been copyright striked by WB on the day of the official film’s announcement. 😔

When you're hired to write a feature, you usually get 12 weeks contractually to turn around the actual draft.
Here's my typical timeline of working on a project from start to finish which, as you'll see, can be somewhat atypical!
14 Oct 2022
Question — how long do you typically spend on a feature? Mostly I’ve been doing true stories so that entails 3-4 months of research / outlining. And then a couple months on the first draft. Another month on the second. But there’s draft after draft that comes after that…

In 1951, Adelbert Ames created the mind-boggling ‘Ames Window’. It’s so effective that even when you know how it works you can’t break the illusion [video from The Curiosity Show: buff.ly/36DvRNs]

How long has Gollum breathed the toxic and boiling fumes of the Mines or Mordor?
