MIKECARROLLFILMS.COM

The site of husband-wife filmmakers BONNIE BENNETT and MIKE CARROLL.

    If you haven’t visited here in a while you’ll find there’s been a lot of restructuring as our latest film Nightbeats is now going out to film festivals.

    On Youtube you can now find trailers of all of the films, as well as abridged versions of the making-of documentaries for Year and Nightbeats

    With the editing of Nightbeats completed, the past several months have been devoted to DVD authoring of all the films - Year, Dog Soldiers and Nightbeats - complete with making-of featurettes, audio commentaries, deleted scenes and more. 

    The DVDs will be the perfect companion to the forthcoming book NAKED FILMMAKING - How To Make A Feature Film Without A Crew, currently in the final stages of editing and revision, with contributing material by Academy Award Nominee and Golden Globe-Winning producer MICHAEL DRYHURST, for publication in late-Summer or Fall 2009.

    A new feature to the site  is  the beginning of a blog  journal dedicated to the making of the next film for anyone interested in following the development process from conception to completion.  This will be posted on an irregular basis as the project takes shape.  It will be comprehensive and promise not to bore, so please subscribe to the blog and bookmark this site for developments. 

    Many things are in the works for the coming weeks and months --
