Amulet Films

Amulet Films is a British Independent Film Company set up by Simon Corris & Alison Reddihough. We are currently developing various feature films and for the latest news on these please visit our 'Projects' page.

We hope you enjoy your visit to our website.

Short Films

For details of our previous short films, follow the link to 'Moth', 'Ghosthunter' and 'The Essay'. Where you will find information on the making of these films plus storyboards, videos, dairies and 'production' and 'behind the scenes' photographs.

Ghosthunter made it to the final 10 films shortlisted for an Academy Award nomination and and has sold to television internationally and to Virgin Atlantic Airlines. Moth has toured the international short film festival circuit picking up awards for 'Best Film' and 'Best Director' along the way.

Music Videos

Taking advantage of the current vogue for DSLR filmmaking and investing in our (growing) kit has enabled us to shoot and post produce our own low budget projects, almost entirely self contained. Currently we have a number of small projects slated and the music videos are an example of how we can produce these films for very little finance.

Head on over to our Vimeo Channel which we hope will grow as we showcase some of those DSLR projects we're currently working on. Also, check out the individual project pages where we'll be adding content about the making of those films.

Our Book

Our book, "How To Make Great Short Feature Films: The Making Of Ghosthunter", foreword by David Parfitt, tells the story of the making of our first 35mm short feature, "Ghosthunter". Published with the book is the DVD of the film plus many 'making of' special features. More information on this can be found by following the link to 'The Book'.
