ABOUT

Bleak Mid Winter is co-owned by Ronan Glennane and several silent partners in Sydney, Australia. We develop and produce feature films for the commercial UK / Australian market at budgets under AU$3 million. We rarely approach funding agencies, we never do co-productions or consider TV or documentaries. No verticals either, just not our thing. All our projects have a clean chain of title. We usually focus on murder mysteries, comedies and sport and never accept unsolicited material unless we know the creatives in advance.
