We are delighted to announce the release of Electric Egg's Into the Wind on DVD.  The DVD released on November 30th is available to order today at: http://www.intothewind.co.uk/#/dvd/

The film is an insightful and touching documentary relating the experiences of Second World War aircrew veterans of Bomber Command through their own words and sadly in many cases for the last time.  As well as a document of unique historical value and significance Into the Wind is a record of deeply personal stories, tales of friendships gained and lost, the perpetual possibility and proximity of death, the importance of love and family, the moral implications of warfare and their shared love of flying.

The DVD includes the 72 minute director's cut with exclusive extras. Although Into the Wind is due to be broadcast on UK TV in 2012 this DVD presents the opportunity to be one of the first to see the film.

It is film that is well worth seeing and Spool is proud to have had the opportunity to work on the audio post production.

Spool get the thumbs up!

The most remarkable thing about Paddy Considine’s feature debut is that it doesn’t feel like a debut at all. Considine may have made his name as an actor of rare physical presence in his collaborations with fellow Midlander Shane Meadows (A Room for Romeo Brass, Dead Man's Shoes), but it’s the restrained assurance he brings to Tyrannosaur that stands out. And yet the finely tuned integration of camera, sound and editing belies the raw power that carries this story...

Considine’s eloquent, savagely poetic script is grounded in a cinematic idiom of bleached light, bleak estates and broken lives. Tyrannosaur is a fine piece of visual storytelling. He has an eye for inventive composition, and intuitively understands how to integrate that with the impeccable tech work provided by DP Erik Wilson, editor Pia Di Caula, production designer Simon Rogers and in particular the sound department led by Ben Squires...
