What a busy summer it has been at SummerIsle. We had a great July and August and really enjoyed the weddings we filmed. We would just like to thank everyone who helped with the work and also to our lovely couples who made us feel so welcome at their weddings this year.
Its been a long year for ‘Cora’ but, finally, its here and ready to take on the world. The first filming started over a year ago on the 25th August 2008 and then progressed through to December 2008, after which editing took place, but with a busy year ahead for SummerIsle Studios the editing of ‘Cora’ had to take a back seat for a few months but eventually its here and all apologies go out to all that have been itching to see the film.
I would just like to thank everyone involved, it has been a very ambitious film but everyone has done so well. I will keep the blog posted with news of Cora’s progress through the year and also put up a list of its whereabouts in the UK. Below is the official trailer for the film, enjoy.
With SummerIsle Studios new film ‘Cora’ being released to the festival rounds in the next few weeks, plans for the next film is underway for 2009.
‘Vermillion’ will be the next film we embark on and with a fantastic brand new cast starting to emerge the film is starting to find its feet already.
Up coming actor Niks Vaja will take on the lead role of a reclusive gangster character known to interfere and corrupt organized crime and dangerous criminals.
Hopefully Niks will be working along side Barbara Lanik and Samantha Wagstaffe, both being very talented actresses. More character and actor details will follow soon.
We are also appealing for a screenwriter to work on the project as well, any body interested is more than welcome to get in touch. We have the ideas, but we would love someone with some talent at pulling ideas together and putting them firmly on paper to come on board the project.
This is will be a stunning project to work on and Im sure everyone already involved will be itching to start work on the film.
Over the last few weeks, SummerIsle Studios for the first time has worked with the four legged kind. They say never work with animals, so we prepared ourselves when we were asked to film a promotional video for the Finjaro kennel. However, the cute puppies turned out to be rather fun and were much easier to film than we first thought. Here is a quick sample of some of the footage.
We travelled down to Worthing on Sunday 26th April to support our documentary which had been nominated for best film in its category at the End of the Pier International film festival.
We had a great time at the festival and even though we didn’t win, we were very pleased with the nomination and would like to thank everyone who liked our film and also to those who organized the festival.

Over the last few weeks Web Designer and illustrator Keith Atkinson from his company ‘Kreative’ has been working on a brand new website for our wedding videos.
Keith has done a fantastic job and we are very grateful for the time and effort he has put in to make our website look brilliant.
Kreative commenced operation in 1997. It was started by Keith Atkinson, a budding windsurfer from Kent, UK. With the demand of vinyl lettering/numbering for Sail Identification in the sports of Sailing and Windsurfing, Keith saw an opportunity to provide a service and start the business of Kreative. This was built upon an idea to produce letter/number characters by hand, which proved to be a non-productive method due to the time it took to produce, However with increasing demand and with markets yet to be reached, Keith saw huge potential for Kreative.
In 2002, the investment was made in professional sign writing equipment, and CAD technology to produce vinyl signs. This proved to be by far the most cost-effective (for both manufacturer and customer), and produces consistent professional results ensuring long-term durability.
Having attended further education studying ‘Art and Design’, and ‘Media and Photography’ courses, Keith pursued his interest in these fields by starting a sign writing company which later developed into a company that now offers a wider variety of services including Illustration, Website Design and Sign Writing.
“We pride ourselves on providing a high quality, friendly and fast service. We hope you enjoy the end product as much as we enjoyed producing it”.

A wise man once said ‘… a model/actor/dancer is a person whose profession is posing for artists or photographers.’ I feel this directly relates to me and my personality and what I do.
There are a number of life experiences that have helped me develop as a person and changed me as a person. At the age of eight I was sent to Tanzania, Africa, to study, there I experienced life in a different form, I saw people suffer and work hard for everything they had rather than it being given to them on a plate.
I was then sent to a boarding school in India at the age of twelve until I turned fifteen and I feel this changed the way I thought about life, even at a very tender age, I learned how hard it can be to live in another country and from that I have become passionate about traveling and helping others. I have traveled everywhere from Africa to Australia. Every country in the world has a spectacular story behind it and an incredible history and I love nothing better then to visit these countries and study the history and culture.
I graduated from Sheffield University after studying Computer Network Engineering and since then I have excelled in a number of aspects. I worked as an IT Administrator in Info Media Services for a number of months and within a few months received a promotion. I then started to feel that I was not being pushed to my full potential and wished for more. I moved to a new company and drove myself into doing new things, I was done with the days of sitting around and giving demands I was ready for receiving them. From then on I have not stopped, every opportunity I have advanced myself knowing there will always be light at the end of the tunnel.
My Family is my idol, they have struggled and come from nothing and supported me through to where I am now. Watching and growing up with them as a child inspired me to take every opportunity thrown my way, as life is about taking opportunities.
At university I modeled for a few minor model shoots for local magazines as well as for some local fashion shows and at the stage I am now at I feel I am ready to go back into modeling, something I am passionate about. Also my acting and dancing have been walking through my life every step of the way which I enjoy and will always carry on no matter what the future holds for me.
Niks is available for any kind of acting and modeling that is on offer, he lives in Northampton and is committed to travel anywhere in the UK as well as across the world.
Niks will be working with SummerIsle Studios sometime this year alongside other determined actors like himself, so keep posted to see him in some productions later in the year.
