Now in cinemas - Rose of Nevada arrives as a striking new chapter in @mark_jenkin ’s singular cinematic world His vision is rooted in texture, memory, and place, and our Orchard Film team were proud to support that by scanning the entire 16mm feature on 4K using our Scanity HDR at Pinewood Studios, preserving every frame with care and precision 🎞️ Head of Scan – Dan Redrup @danredrup Scanning Operators – Timi Oladeji @5olae , Harry Wilson Processed by partner Kodak Film Lab London @kodak_shootfilm ‘Somebody said to me the other day that my films are all about community, and I hadn’t really thought about that. I thought, well, aren’t all films about community in one way or another? But then I thought, maybe not all films are a statement about community. So I do seem to be obsessed with community. I say seem to be because I don’t see these as intentions. I see these as results of me telling certain stories. By concentrating on very specific communities in the very specific place that I live in, there’s an authenticity to it, which allows those themes around community to be universal in terms of the audience’ - Director Mark Jenkin Starring George MacKay, Callum Turner, Rosalind Eleazar, Francis Magee, Mary Woodvine and Edward Rowe 📸 BTS Photos - Steve Tanner @stevetanner and Ian Kingsnorth @iankingsnorthphotography 35mm Production Stills processed by @kodak_shootfilm , scanned by @digital_orchard

Preschool is out now on Apple TV+ 📚 One spot. Two dads. No holding back.. In London, a single place at an ultra-exclusive preschool kicks off a full-blown showdown between two fathers (@joshduhamel & @michaelsocha13 ). What starts as a simple application turns into escalating chaos - big laughs, bigger ego clashes, and consequences no one saw coming. As the rivalry snowballs, family life gets dragged straight into the madness Behind the scenes, Orchard Onset helped keep the wheels turning with DIT Nathan Snoddy @nathansnoddy and Video Operator Ria Brown @riabrownxx working tirelessly on set, to support every moment of the production It was lovely for our team, Olivia Fitzsimons, Helena Connolly and Sarah Brett, to pop over to visit the set on a summers day, when they were shooting around the corner from DO HQ Producer - Joe Karimi-Nik @joekarimi DOP - Arthur Mulhern @arthurmulhern
