Vitec Production Solutions supports local East Anglia filmmaker and cast to product debut feature film
Filmmaker Paul Cook was able to draw upon a wide range of production equipment from Vitec Group brands to produce his new film, “Magpie.” Cook was producer and director of photography for “Magpie” and also served as co-writer and co-director together with Carmel Hannant. The Kickstarter-funded film delves into the vast changes in the physical and social landscape of the East Anglia area of England during World War II. Shot entirely with a local cast and crew from Norfolk and Suffolk counties, “Magpie” will be shown at major film festivals before its release in early 2019.
“The Vitec Group’s support has been critical for the success of this project. ‘Magpie’ is the largest and most challenging film I have ever worked on, and I knew that its brands could provide the best and most reliable equipment in the industry to help me realise my creative vision,” Cook said
