A Happy Birthday and A Summer Break

26 Jul 2024

As Aconite celebrates another birthday this July, this is a great time to cherish and honour our company's achievements; our projects; all the partners and the amazing people who make our films happen and also to take a well-deserved break!

We are, and have been incredibly busy bees! Thanks so much to all who have supported our vision and unconditional mission to produce well-crafted, inspiring, award-winning films that are of global significance and that appeal to international audiences.

We also thank all those who continually approach our business looking for support to develop and produce their film ideas. We wish we could have the capacity to produce them all!

We were so proud this June to see Inma de Reyes' ‘The Boy and The Suit of Lights’ winning the Grand Jury Award for the Grand Jury Award for the International First Feature Competition supported by Netflix at Sheffield DocFest. Congratulations to Inma again and all the wonderful team and partners involved in this very special film.

We are also excited this summer to be moving forward with the production of INTERSPECIES- a co-production with award-winning producer David Rosier of Decia Films, directed by the talented and two-time Academy Award-nominated Lucy Walker. Also in production and directed by the gifted artist and filmmaker Suki Chan, is CONSCIOUS, a co-production with Conscious Production Studio. We are also super excited to join the production of THE MAD WORLD OF HARVEY KURTZMAN, directed by award-winning filmmaker Bart Simpson in co-production with veteran producer Ina Fichman of Intuitive Pictures.

We are so happy to be part of all these very special projects. Please keep an eye out for future updates on our productions on our social media.

It's wonderful to have our birthday in the middle of summer, a time for holidays and taking breaks and enjoying the fruits of the projects that we work so hard for.

Here’s to many more years, and thank you for following us on our journey!

Aconite will be taking a break from Monday the 29th of July to Friday the 9th of August 2024.

Hope you are all having a great summer!
