2. History of Stonehenge productions
2000 2016
In the year 1999 a man by the name of Jacob Bird had just emigrated to England after after working for
well-known film Company called universal studios. He decided that he would set up his own film
production company, at this same time well-known editor (George Phelps) and sought after producer
(Josh Rosevear) were good friends of Jacob had heard about his idea and they decided in January of
2000 that all three of them would go into business as a film Studio. Their first decision was to to name
the company Stonehenge productions and to make a name for themselves by focusing on making
controversial British films. Their first film was a very controversial, hard hitting, true story about
slavery which was released just months after they had crated the company. This film called “Another
one” is today one of there most successful film. The next main step for Stonehenge productions was
when they moved onto making coming of ace films to which since 2004 they have mainly been
making. Some of these films such as “My Way”, “The glass sole” and “Normal View” have all focused
on a different hard-hitting topic that very much related to teenagers of their time. In 2016 not only
have hinge changed their logo it is also suggested that they are working with other production
companies to make bigger budgeted films that we may see in the near future.

3. Films by Stonehenge productions
The film Another One that was produced in may of 2000 was
based around a true story of a woman named Mima who lived
in the early 1700s and was slave. The film follows her life and
shows how she survived in this brutal, RAISIS and unjust time of
history. the film ends in her eventual death which is portrayed
extremely well. When making this film we worked very closely
with a diary left by Mima and who are expected to be her
descendants now living in England.
Since Stonehenge productions was created, we have always
been focused mostly on making coming-of-age films that tackle
controversial issues faced by teenagers of today. We have
always been a small UK-based film company and have always
focused on making small budget films that have strong moral
messages embedded within them. Our main director(Jacob bird)
has always taken every opportunity however to make films
based on true stories. This was why one of first films called
Another one was in fact created and produced by our company.
This film ended up Being one of
our most successful films and was
nominated as film of the year in
the Golden Globe awards.

4. The logo
The logo created by Stonehenge productions is used because it is a very recognisable
British monument that will attract audiences to watch the film as they will
automatically link it to something they have seen before causing them to recognise it
even if they haven’t seen Stonehenge film before. This however means that the
production company will have to keep stay as small uk-based Company that would not
have the ability or funds to distribute a Film elsewhere in the world.
