So here it is, the August Jackal Film. And what a fitting end to the summer of 2010 – bright, steamy, with a wet finish. The party line here at Jackal is that we didn’t have time to make the August film, so we handed over the reins to Baal and his good friend Wendy [...]
August Jackal – Celeberama!
August 31st, 2010Filming August Jackal with Baal
August 12th, 2010We have just filmed the August Jackal Film – get us! We are so previous. And our special guest was the brilliant Robert Popper , who you may remember from the amazing ‘Look Around You’. And more recently, in his incarnation as the fabulously hilarious and hunky ‘Baal’ in ‘Bellamy’s People’. We filmed at Ealing Studios, [...]
July Jackal Film – Green Man
August 1st, 2010Hiya! We leaked you some sneak advance info that our July offering would be 80s stylee, and we didn’t lie! So here it is, the 1982 hit ‘Green Man’ by new wave sensation, twin sister and brother duo, ‘Ukranian Flightpath’. (Thanks Rufus Jones for coming up with such an excellent band name.) The song was [...]
July Jackal – Girls on Film
July 20th, 2010Have just filmed the July Jackal film. I always liked Duran Duran’s 80s classic hit ‘Girls on Film’, which I believe they wrote in order to address the issue of an inequality of the balance of women in the film industry. They are just sooo political and that is what I love about Simon LeBon [...]
June Jackal Film!
July 1st, 2010Well it’s finally here, our steaming hot June offering. This month it’s starring the delicious Katy Wix, who you may know from her double act with Anna Crilly formerly known collectively as ‘Penny Spubb’. I don’t know why they were called that, it was probably named after a girl they laughed at at school or [...]
Screenwriting Conference in Dublin
June 22nd, 2010Jackal has had a very busy month! We have just been to the Give Me Direction Screenwriting conference, which this year focussed on comedy. Apart from Dublin being the most brilliant place to hang out, the sun was shining, and there were the most exciting special guests at the event, Jackal also got to show [...]
May Jackal Film – In the Nick of Time!
June 1st, 2010May saw a Jackal scramble to post the new film to our page. But it’s here now! Hope you enjoy! After unforeseen sickness of a cast member, we at Jackal had to have a last minute rethink. We had a studio and… Well that was it. We had a studio. So with the help of [...]
Oona and Crispin are Hot Brew
May 16th, 2010It’s been a while since I’ve written it seems. We have been busy brewing up ideas for our May Jackal Film, which will include an exciting and very special, special guest! More news on that anon! (Clue: it’s not the Queen.)
Meanwhile, to entertain your little eyes and ears, Crispin and Oona, the new-age ‘rootists’ from [...]
April Golden Showers and April Jackal Film!
April 28th, 2010We at Jackal would love to give you a golden shower. A golden shower of experimental comedy films. And April brings the scintilating sallow saturation that is ‘Love Song’. This film stars comedienne Rachel Stubbings and Alice Lowe. You may also recognise the haunting strains of a soundtrack engineered from the musical machine that is [...]

April 14th, 2010News on the street is that Antony E.L. Vin. has composed a sweet R’n’B track for our new April Jackal film. Can’t wait to hear it! Here’s Antony enjoying wood.
