Dog Eared Films Information

Dog Eared Films is a collective of independent filmmakers and artists based out of Kings Cross. The brain child of artist filmmaker Claire Leona Apps and cinematographer Maeve O’Connell, Dog Eared Films was formed with a single ambition : to make films. And not just any films but ones that are artistically told, beautifully shot and with enticing narratives that are hard to forget. They kick-started the whole adventure with a music video for a friend. He gave them a handful of five pound notes and a brilliant song. Since then Dog Eared Films’ metamorphosis’ has brought them through documentaries in Asia, art commissions on super 8 and award winning dramas to founding a unique, creative hub in Central London: A large, light gallery space and a flexible studio for film or photography hire. (which fortunately allows a much greater scale of production, but unfortunately means less topless models)… Since our launch, we have been home to the London Photography Festival, Alcatraz pop-up hotel, Aitor Throup’s latest fashion launch and our studio has been transformed for cult Kerrang! Award winning music videos, idents for Danny Boyle’s Olympics Opening Ceremony and all sorts of backdrops for large budget TV commercials. We have a keen interest in developing relationship with artists, filmmakers and event organizers alike. The set up has changed but the mantra’s the same: take a good script and then beg, borrow and blag what’s needed.
