| Online since 1995 | | About Foiled Productions | | 
Foiled Productions are a group of independent filmmakers
based in the UK. They began in 1995, when founder members
Henry Burrows and Howell Parry got talking in the pub and decided
that they wanted to make a movie. Not just a 10-minute short,
like everyone else at the time seemed to be making, but a
full feature-length movie. That idea eventually became
Foiled, the cult classic "aliens vs
students" B-movie set in Manchester.
It might have taken over 4 years of their spare time to make, but
they were not to be discouraged. Teaming up with their friend
Adam Lopez, they then set out to make a sequel to Foiled's
film-within-a-film "Saturday Night Zombies", called (naturally)
Sunday Night
Zombies.
This was followed soon after by
The Jedi Who Loved Me,
a Star Wars fan-film made to celebrate Adam's forthcoming
marriage. The film premiered at the wedding reception, and
went on to play in festivals throughout the world, where it
received many positive reviews.
Their next movie - Fluffy The English
Vampire Slayer - was the first ever fan-film (to their
knowledge) to be based on the hit TV show "Buffy The Vampire
Slayer". As well as releasing this movie for free download
from the internet, they also produced a special Video CD release
including a cast and crew commentary track, out-takes,
behind-the-scenes footage, trailers, a look at some of the
original auditions, and even that most coveted of extra features,
an animated menu!!
Between movies they've also found the time to put together a
growing collection of ultra-short films, some purely for their
own entertainment, others which are now available on the
internet. One in particular, their spoof of the "it's
11:30" Diet Coke commercial, regularly appeared on web-sites,
TV shows and in forwarded emails...
