About
What we do
Quicksilver Films is run by Rebecca Long and Stephen Spence. The company finances and produces outstanding feature films for an international audience.
Quicksilver's first feature film, Forget Me Not, was released in UK cinemas on Friday 6th May, 2011. The film enjoyed very good reviews from a number of leading national publications including The Guardian, The Independent, Empire Magazine, Total Film and Time Out and was awarded Best Film at the London Independent Film Festival. Forget Me Not was subsequently released on DVD in the UK and is available from all major online outlets including iTunes, Love Film, Amazon.com and Play.com as well as a selection of high street stores including HMV.
Forget Me Not was released theatrically in the United States in February 2011. The LA Times called the film a "contemporary love story with a heart-wrenching twist that recalls vintage tearjerkers" and whose "appealing stars, Tobias Menzies and Genevieve O'Reilly, make watching it a surprisingly affecting experience". The newspaper also praised the movie's "adroit blend of cinematic poetic flourish, sure pacing and British understatement". The film has been released on DVD in the US and is available from major online outlets such as Netflix and Amazon as well as a number of stores including Barnes & Noble. Kaleidoscope Entertainment represents Forget Me Not for international sale in all remaining worldwide territories
We are currently in development with The Greater Good, an international conspiracy-thriller written by renowned British screenwriter Martin Stellman (whose previous work includes the British classic Quadrophenia, tense political thriller Defence of the Realm, For Queen and Country starring Denzel Washington and, more recently, The Interpreter starring Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn).
Quicksilver operates its own production finance fund which has been granted Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) status by the UK Government. As well as participating in revenue generated by the company's films our investors receive tax relief on the value of their investment. If you are interested in learning more about Quicksilver, our fund and our films please do not hesitate to contact us by telephone, email or mail.
