Welcome

Delfilm is a film company set up by Kent based screenwriter and director Derek Boyes, to develop his slate of feature films for theatrical release.

This website not only keeps you up to date with the latest news and developments from Delfilm, but I hope my blog will soon become an ever expanding resource of useful and insightful information to help and support like-minded filmmakers.

There are over a dozen short films I have made to date that you can watch online including my award winning fantasy The Happiness Thief right back to my swashbuckling first 16mm film Drakkon. There are also some ridiculous spoofs and early videos, insightful 'making of' documentaries and ludicrous outtake reels. So relax, take your time and enjoy the site.

Blackout was selected from over 200 applications to participate in Moxie Maker's The Big Pitch scheme in 2008. We made it to the final having developed a great script and attaching Jessica Hynes and Martin Compston. Ipso Facto Films quickly optioned the project with the intention of shooting in late 2009 on a £500,000 budget. But then the recession arrived and Blackout is now sitting on the shelf gathering dust - Whoever said filmmaking was easy?
