We sent Wrong Move to Lewis Umbrellahem in Perth, Australia for an early review a couple of weeks ago, here is what he had to say about it...
"A fine movie, very closed space atmospheric stuff, which you guys are quite good at. The look of the film delivers your most professional picture to date. Solid directing with a lot of nuance added to your bag of tricks Tray—and you too, Mark, what with the very nice camera movements.
Overall the angles chosen were quite right, well-suited to the characters and scenario.
Hey, was that you guys in the fold over newspaper cameo for “Going for Gory”? I had to do a double take on that one. Worthy of Hitchcock that insert! Glyn’s score was right on the money, a good collaboration for sure. Good to see you guys growing creatively together, that’s always fun.
Like all artists, you have themes quite personal to you, and these you continue to develop with greater finesse as your filmmaking matures. Really liked your new logo header, by the way. Well done. The CGI in the movie was quite unique too. Subtle and creepy!
I actually enjoyed your subtle application of CGI more than a lot of grandiose applications in the monster budget studio films. I think you guys have turned out another very fine ONP2002 production.
Let me know when the final cut is pressed and I’ll send you a current address for posting.
Good stuff, Smithies! Thanks for sharing".

Andrew Berry of HJ BERRY & SONS LTD in Chipping, Lancashire has given us permission to shoot two films at his superb chairworks factory and nearby empty house in 2009.
Here is some history about the location...
H J Berry & Sons Ltd, the oldest chair manufacturer in England and the UK, have been making fine chairs and tables in Chipping, near Preston Lancashire, since 1840. The business that was founded by John Berry and named after his son, Henry James Berry, is still situated in the ancient village of Chipping, nestling below the fells close to Bowland Forest.
By 1880 the business had expanded so much that it needed a new site in Chipping as the founder's entrepreneurial son, Henry James Berry, bought the local cotton mill, known as Kirk Mills. The mill is still used today by the company and the original Arkwright water wheel that powered the machinery until 1940 is still in place.
The factory and surrounding area is a true Independent Filmmakers dream location with all the historic stairways and lots of spooky rooms, a nearby small bridge, pond, it is like a ready built movie set. The two films that we have planned for the location will be connected in a way that we are keeping under wraps for now...check back for more details soon.
We would like to thank Andy for giving us the opportunity to let us be creative in his domain.
