Mini Productions

Film production company making various genres of short and feature films.

Film poster - landscape and portrait - for Hymn of Hate, a beautiful, cinematic short film set in No Man's Land during WWI, starring Russell Tovey and Thomas Turgoose. Almost complete, the film is already being submitted to high calibre international film festivals, with the aim of making official selection at BFI London Film Festival to coincide with the centenary of the end of the Great war later this year.

Lots of superb high res images available.

Synopsis:

At the Somme; still in the hours of daylight, Sergeant George May, always the first man into action, and Private Billy Booth, have been sent to patrol the deadly No Man’s Land by a young, inexperienced officer, eager to assert authority over his men, some of whom are twice his age and far more experienced. As a military man with twenty years service, Sergeant May has learnt how to take orders. Unquestioning, patriotic and loyal to the cause, it’s simple for Sergeant May; he believes all Germans hate him and he hates (and fears) them. Only when he finds himself in No Man’s Land with Private Booth – a fresh-faced, more objective and idealistic young man – stumbling upon an armed but mortally wounded German soldier, does everything he believe in begin to fall apart. Could he actually have more in common with his enemy, than those he trusts to give him his orders?

UPDATE:

Uploading a few more photos in case anyone wants to play with them, or isolate the Sergeant walking to try out as a single image, large or small.

Thanks

I have a fairly strong visual idea of what I'd like for the poster and I've attached a mood board below. My favourite's being the 'Saving Private Ryan' and 'We Were Soldiers', wide shots, with potentially the close up of Russell Tovey's angry character above, maybe even the pensive Thomas Turgoose character too. Definitely open to your inspiration and ideas too so I've uploaded lots of stills. More available if needs be. The dead tree (photos on the way) features in the film so would be cool to see this in some of the designs too. Please feel free to ask any questions. I'd like the chosen design to add the key credits (which I'll provide) at the bottom of the poster too please so allow room or use a template when creating your designs for this.

Please be aware that the film is set at The Somme in April 1916 pre the huge artillery and battles, so in the film we're adding a small amount of debris to the set dressing that you'll see in the stills, especially the wide vista shots but the grass was long and there weren't hundreds of bodies and pot holes, shredded trees etc at this point, just some barbed wire, abandoned sniper posts and the odd bit of rubble/corrugated iron, half-empty sandbags drifting through from the trenches. We never see the trenches in the film. The entire piece takes place in the heart of No Man's Land.

PLEASE DO NOT SHARE OR MAKE ANY OF THESE IMAGES PUBLIC.

Thank you!

N.B Looks like some images aren't uploading properly so I'm currently uploading to google drive and will provide a link in the next hour.
