Completion, Reviews and Screenings!
ROSE the film is the most gritty urban drama story of our time set in an unspoken world that exists near all of us. Following completion in January 2012 the film based on a true story has already held two private screenings; firstly to the real Rose who was honoured to have her story represented by award winning director Kemal Yildirim and then to the cast, crew and sponsors of the film. Needless to say the response we received was overwhelming and we also managed to raise some funds for local supporting charity CAN, who provide a range of drug, alcohol and homelessness services in the region.
Featuring new talent Helen Clifford as ROSE, a hopeful woman broken by drugs, prostitution and Blondie, the Czar of Hellville played by Mike Mitchell. The film boasts compelling performances from the cast including that of six year old Chelsea Alcock who plays Ellie, Rose’s daughter.
Rose the film has already received an exclusive raving review from Michael Clark Ph.D. of Earthpages.com who understands and grasps the Director’s message and approach, and now the film has been officially selected for a prime time screening with Q&A at the London Independent Film Festival in April 2012 who thanked us for making “such a great film”.
We are excited about what the future holds for Rose the film, and it would not be complete without the blessing from the true Rose. Thank you for letting us share your story.
Rose the film is seeking sales agents and distribution as well as scheduled for festival exhibition. Please contact [email protected] to register your interest.

ROSE Wrapped & in the Edit Room
It’s been one month since calling ‘that’s a wrap’ on the main film shoot of ROSE, what feels like a lifetime ago! The two week shoot in July was INSANE, averaging at 20 hours filming a day with 3 hours sleep, fuelled by passion and our madness verified by the last shooting day clocking at least 25 hours!! Is it even more insane to mention that we miss it? Perhaps!
August meant a period of rest and relaxation for the cast and crew, a time to get over the filming blues and to come to terms with reality. The film shoot ran at such a pace that we were Hellvillians living in Hellville, racking over 600 slates in 2 weeks compared to your average blockbuster film shoot of 400 slates in many months! The script was ambitious, creatively and technically; with many interior and exterior locations, a helicopter, fake torrential rain, a construction lift and far too much to mention! So needless to say we had a mammoth task in our hands. The low budget and small shooting period was also a major challenge, however lead by the equally if not more ambitious Director Kemal Yildirim we’re proud, firstly to survive the ROSE film shoot and secondly, realising the Director’s vision in capturing all that was intended using the Canon 5D with just a few filming pick up days left.
The team are preparing for a day of filming at Hunstanton beach this weekend; a day in the life of ROSE’s disjointed family with ELLIE and TONY outside of Hellville, we get a glimmer of hope of what could be. This will be followed by a 3 day shoot at the end of September in Istanbul, Turkey: Mr Blondie also outside of Hellville but in another territory akin to his kingdom, setting the tone for Mr Blondie and the seed of destruction he brings back to Hellville. This will be ROSE completely wrapped in a total of 20 days of filming.
We are thankful for the commitment and dedication from our supporters and all those involved in getting the film to this stage, we also humbly thank the sponsors on our Links page. Now lies ahead the daunting task of editing a full length feature film within a set deadline to be ready for festivals in 2012. Welcome to the den of post-production where Director Kemal and documentary filmmaker and now co-editor Jack James will bury themselves in the edit suite in ROSE HQ. Kemal is pleased with the dynamite footage feeling it is by far his best production to date and his biggest directorial debut. Exciting times ahead folks!
Big thanks to BBC Radio Northampton for plugging us throughout pre-production and on set filming. Did we mention we are on IMDB? Well we are! We are yet to embark on a huge international marketing campaign and we’ve already been head hunted by sales agents before the film has even been edited. Plus, we have over 80 hours of behind the scenes footage (wow Jack!), so the “too much to mention” of on-set trials and tribulations will be brought to you via the many featurettes coming soon! Not forgetting pictures and film stills!!
Finally thank you to the REAL ROSE for allowing us to tell your story so publicly, we hope to do it justice and to bring forth the courage in ourselves to take control of our lives in whatever we do.

ROSE is Here
It's official. Rose is now in production, the realisation is here, all these months of long days and nights of pre-production, planning, co-ordinating, scheduling, sourcing, casting, set building, rewriting, acting workshops, etc, etc... Rose is here!
It's Sunday 10th July on a lovely summers day with a gentle breeze, Rose and her young daughter Ellie are walking across a field passing by a shallow brook of water. All alone in this field we capture heart felt moments between mother and daughter. The production could not have started any better.
Tuesday 12th July, Blondie the czar of Hellville is here, having landed in the UK from Turkey his kingdom awaits his arrival. We will be filming the grand introduction of evil himself this week to then steam roll into a jam packed 2 week shooting schedule as of Monday 18th July - Sunday 31st July.
The shoot is going to be a massive emotional and physical journey for all involved and to get this far is an amazing achievement. This film has brought together a mind blowing cast, a dedicated crew and as a team we will endure all that is thrown at us. There is no going back now, ROSE has a purpose and we have an important story to tell.
A few words from the Director Kemal: "It's down to the wire: budget; getting things ready for the shoot; getting it right - everything! This film has my heart and soul in it and everyone is working hard on it. It's a lot of pressure but I can't believe we're here, Rose is here... It's time to have some serious fun!"
Coming soon: Documentaries on behind the scenes of ROSE in pre-production! Watch this space!!

ROSE HQ Touch Base
It's been one month since pre-production began and the ROSE team are set up and rolling in our production office. Working in what was a creative space for many decades before our arrival can only be a sign of good things to come!
Excitement and steam rolling are a few words that spring to mind. Having moved in to the office the set layout is in place and the builders are working on plans to construct the heart of ROSE's world; locations are being scouted and secured; main cast are attached with some exciting names and talent in the bag; acting workshops are in full swing to bring the characters to life as are the creative sessions between Writer and Director to plan scene for scene the Director's vision of this heartfelt story. It's all go!
This is only the beginning with so much more to do. The countdown is on with 10 weeks to go til the film shoot, may we remind our readers that this is for a feature film to be shot in two weeks! We must thank our local town, some companies (unnamed for now) and charities, in particular CAN, for their support and belief in the film (to find out more about CAN visit our LINKS page). This is more than a film it is a movement, to raise awareness on victims like ROSE and the harsh realities that people like her suffer on a daily basis.
To help tell ROSE's story we are on the lookout for extras, if you are interested or if you wish to support the film in any capacity please get in touch.

First Promotional Interview on BBC Local Radio
Kemal Yildirim was invited to BBC Radio Northampton today to discuss ROSE. The film is now officially in pre-production to be shot in July 2011 and Kemal discusses the film being more a movement rather than a standard film. Using local resources and local talent and bringing filmmaking to the county the film is close to being realised. Kemal requests the community's support to get behind the film whether it be creatively (crew/actors/extras) or even potential investors/sponsors to get behind the movement.
