We are delighted to announce the completion of the Steve Shill Filming Masterclass series! This vastly experienced, Emmy-winning director of The Sopranos, The Wire, The West Wing & Dexter amongst many others, wrote scenes for and directed our entire over 16 and adult roster of actors. It was an incredible experience for them to work so intimately and creatively with this superb director of so many HBO epics. There will be a red carpet screening of all the work in the Autumn. A huge thank you from us all at Actor Tribe to Steve Shill.

The film festival circuit is a year-long process and we have many more results to come. The fact that we’ve made such an impact in just one week of putting LITTLE BOXES out into the world of festivals is beyond what we could have hoped for. We’re so grateful to these film festivals for our awards and selection.
We remain committed to bringing our actors the very best professional experiences.
We made this film in accordance with and inspired by the Dogme 95 Manifesto as set out by Lars Von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg, using what we had at our disposal under the most restrictive lockdown period in modern history. We proved that creativity will always find a way.
