🚨‼️TRAILER DROP‼️🚨 We are so excited to share this hot-off-the-press teaser for our short, Handle with Care, edited by the incredible @elizabethclutterbuck ✨ With post production finished, we are looking ahead to festival submissions in Scotland and further afield. We have big plans for how we want to use this work, not just as a short film, but as a call for systematic change. For now, thank you to everyone who has helped us reach this point. We have been blessed with a wealth of talent, on both sides of the camera. The film belongs to every one of our collaborators, and we can’t wait for audiences to see their work.

🚨🚨ANNOUNCEMENT🚨🚨 Happy New Year from the #HandleWithCare team! To kick start 2026, we thought we’d officially announce the name of our new production company. This page will soon become NEW LORE PRODUCTIONS! New Lore is the brains of @jaynewton and #dylanblore. We had such a good time making our first short, we thought we might as well make some more… New Lore will make films from the ground up, built on a network of talented local creatives and collaborators. We want to embrace a new way of filmmaking led by openness, kindness, and integrity. Let’s make ambitious work without losing ourselves, or our voice, in the process… Keep your eyes peeled for future projects, as well as updates on all things #handlewithcare 🎬 Logo design @catjdesign
