About me: Hi there, Showcase films is a production company composed of three members who embrace conveying a story through film. These members are Henry Ward, Oscar Ward and Andy Burns. On this page you will find little nibbles and appetizers for our previous and current projects. Be sure to have a taste of these nibbles to get a sense of our visual style.
Showcase Films experiments with an array of various subject matters. This leads to a widespread experimentation of storytelling. Our previous works have ranged from genres such as avant-garde to thriller, though the majority of our films are frequently inspired by the works of creative geniuses.
Showcase Films began in the early stages of 2005, during work on the film 'Rogue Samurai'. However, the three members have embraced the art of film since meeting in primary school. We look upon our past works as stepping stones to a better understanding of film. As a result, recent films such as Evergreen, The Key and Motives, have shown our development as being beneficial over the years. Showcase Films have also collaborated with film makers Mike Dunne and Andrew Mckenzie over its two year existence to produce films such as 'Confined' and our recent exciting project 'Blackout'.
Our current projects will be updated regularly. The film we have been working on most recently is titled 'Blackout'. Like all of other works, Blackout is distinguishable from the rest. We feel it is our most professional short film we have produced to date. Its release into the wild is anticipated.
Thanks for your sampling of our buffet of visual treats and trinkets. We hope they tickle your tastebuds, which entices you to binge on these treats.
hey, i finally got round to watching your films and ..they are insanely good!!! really creative storylines, great acting and the shots, the music, the settings - everything is put together perfectly and to great effect. definately something to be proud of, guys. well done!
Sorry, my comment for Mr Ward wouldn't fit in the box, so I'm putting it here.
Firstly, what else can i say that hasn't already been said. Fantastic work dudes, and you're not hearing that from people just because they know you either. Some great amateur filmmaking by anyone's standards.
I dunno how you did it, but even with 3 directors, you still managed to maintain one unique vision and feel throughout it. Maybe you should try and stick to the 3 director formula, seems to work.
Couple questions: 1. What did you use to hold the camera for the fixed shot of Andy's face on the swing while it was swinging, and 2. Who played the adults at the end? They seemed really genuine.
If you guys want to keep this up, you should seriously consider coming and doing the Film & Television course at Curtin Uni. I'm doing it at the moment and it's awesome.
Hey, Have just watched The Key. I must say it's my favourite yet! There was some excellent cinematography and it had a really intriguing plotline. I take my hat off to you all!
No worries bro- I certainly did enjoy it. It always astounds me how imaginative you guys are with a very minimal cast and effects used very sparingly- your films' strengths are their great ideas and concepts, creative filming techniques and good acting.
By the way- I left two tennis racquets at your house in case you were wondering what the hell they were doing there, sorry about that. If you threw them out it doesnt matter, I found them on the verge pickup anyway. haha
GOOD NEWS PEASENTS!! i have found a script for you to turn in a movie, its entited 'Bluff' and is 92 pages in length. its a gripping story about a serial killer, killing people that have a direct relation to a deck of playing cards eg a guy that had 2 diamond studs in his ear is the 2 of diamonds etc. i read it and thought it was pretty good, im going to give it to andy to see if i get his approval, if so... i want to make it (or as they say in fancy movie talk 'Produce it') haha and employ your magical movie making skills. so ill give andy a copy and then on our arraival back to perth he can pass one onto the other 2 thirds of the opperation.. so yes. thats all i personally have to report, hope holidays are going well cant wait to see the final copy of 'the emerging triats of Mr Ward' peace out
"You know what you should do? Get Denzel to do a movie. It's so simple!" Sutherland
screw that get Samuel L Jackson, he'll go in anything (hes in just about every movie ever made). C'mon surely u guys can compete with Snake on a Plane (and for a note thats not ment to be insulting to u guys).
hmmmm yes thaks for that imfo tell me are they nice lads or do they roam the streets on tricycles runing over small pupies tails and stealing my edition of the post
you know the type! they're a menace to society!!!!
hmmm docile
"no problem what so ever" i just watched ferris beuller beuller beullerrrrr
haha no im still slighly sane, if that is at all possible spending as much time with burnerdette as i do. but i have pretty much seen the before and after in showcase films, and the latter of your films are much better. i personally have an idea that burns cruelly shot down one economics lesson so i think ill stick to acting
well burns (in sorry wards brothers we have never met) i would have to say that i hav been the one fortunate enough to view your entire 'showcase' (no pun intended) of films i would have to say im your toughest critic... except of course for felix and his err rats? but i have to compliment the writer behind blackout, its a tremendous script i atchually was midly scared in the stick-it note scene and i was just READING it. anyways fellas, its late and p+l wont write itself but keep on keeping on and i hope i get past the drug screening stage of auditions
Hey. I have a question about Evergreen.. Who is the guy with the clipboard at the end - played by Henry? What is he doing? I thought he might be an undercover cop...
oh gooood now there is a respected movie credential but you did forget stick it and just my luck starring lindsey lohan!!!
hahah
ah um no i didnt get told about the audition soo yeah eh but oh well its on the same night as our dance so if caz and mz and chaz get in i will be lonesome without them!
did you? i dunno are you in with their whole drama thing as in in the plays its soo hard to tell these days
hey do u have msn just becuase i have rediscovered my account and it would beat the time consuming effort that myspace can sometimes be!
i cant believe its sunday already i am in dread becuase my second most hated day (the aths carnivaleee) secoind only to the swimming carnivaleee is TOMORROW
naaaaaaaaaaaaaaooooooooooooooooo
i pray to jebus for terrential rain
oh and i have to watch your movie coz we tried to watch it at work yesterday but there was no sound and it seemed rather lacking in something!
Henry. Wow. Evergreen rocked my socks off, it is BRILLIANT!!!!!!! Can I post a bulletin about it for my friends to see? I want people to see how amazing you are.... SERIOUSLY, Evergreen gave me the chills...! The music, everything... after he knocks the matches I was like NOOO RUNNN!! SHITT!!!!! I'm so so so excited for you boys... you are so brilliant, you will be famous, you will be out there, you will be making films you love and having so much fun... My PD friend is sure of it, and if he can be sure of it, I am dead set serious about it. I AM SO THRILLLLLLED that you guys are so talented and happy and WOW!! I wish I was there to do a jig in front of you and give you an all encompassingly big hug. xxxx
