MuckleJoannie Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 This seems to have gone a bit quiet recently. The last entry on their facebook page is a couple of months old. http://www.facebook.com/betweenweathersthemovie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnmc Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 This always struck me as a "prospecting" production looking for funding. Shetland with it's generous history of cultural funding and an active investing community looked the ideal location. They clearly haven't managed to secure the funding required for their project. Otherwise where is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen C Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Another two-and-a-half years and no more significant developments. Jim Brown still seems to be prospecting though: http://www.glasgowfilm.org/player/whats_on/6105_between_weathers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuckleJoannie Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 That event was in February last year. From this web page http://nortatlantikdrift.com/ In the evening we will talk to Jim Brown who is nearly completing the development of ‘Between Weathers’ a film planning to shoot in Summer 2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlin13 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Anyone who is or has been involved in film production even on a very small scale understands the challenges and the time it can take to bring an idea to fruition. With the current state of the economy not helping I for one am not surprised it's taking time. It might never get made but then it might !To put things into perspective I suggest you read about the struggles and the time it took for a Sir Richard Attenburgh to make Ghandi. It sort of puts things in perspective. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gandhi_(film) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuckleJoannie Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 I mind hearing someone say on the wireless a while ago that the true art of Hollywood was not film, it was the deal. Hollywood runs on incessant meetings and now and again a film happens to be made. It seems to me that that is what is happening here.

Stephen C Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 I approached B4 films in 2013 asking for their prospectus for potential investors in this film; Chris Brown responded to tell me that although they had a prospectus, it hadn't been released yet. I've heard no more from him, so believe that remains the situation. Earlier, in 2011 Gwiym Gibbons responded to concerns I expressed (that potential Shetland investors were being misled as to the liklihood of seeing a return on their investment) by saying "Between Weathers is a major commercial feature film with a range of distribution and screening rights deals already in place", a claim I thought utterly implausible. Jim Brown has never directed a feature and B4 Films (his tv production company) have never produced one thus far; somehow I doubt that Between Weathers is going to change that statistic.
