Dreamtime Film is an award-winning independent film company based near Windemere in Cumbria.
Established in 2007 by Company Director Tom LLoyd, we create shorts, music videos, documentaries and fiction films.
We also specialise in live multi-camera vision mixing and interactive media, including motion-sensor based video installations.
After a degree in film, I worked in Soho as assistant film editor on 35mm commercials and as camera assistant at Cosgrove Hall Films, Manchester.
I have an MSc in Creative Technology and have made short films, music videos and documentaries that have screened at International festivals. Since 1995 Iʼve been filming the journey to Appleby Fair in Cumbria each summer, travelling by road with horses.
After several years working as video artist with Welfare State International I established Dreamtime Film n 2007 and made a short documentary Live Before You Die about life on the road with horses. The film won Awards at several International Film Festivals and was selected for the Cannes Film Festival short film corner.
In 2007 I directed Supercasino, a magic-realist parable of gambling, greed, hope, despair and tawdry vaudevillian charm in Blackpool for North West Vision and the UK Film Council which was also selected for the Cannes Film Festival Short Film Corner.
In 2010 I raised funding through The Heritage Lottery Fund to make Endangered Species — 5 x 10 minute documentary films for the Fell Pony Breeders Association about the last breeders of semi-feral fell ponies in the Lakeland fells. And on a unique project collaborating with scientists and ethicists, I directed In Vitro set thirty years in the future about three generations of women and the effects that a maverick scientific experiment has on their lives, produced by Whitewood and Fleming and funded by The Wellcome Trust.
