Independent Film Production
Since writer – composer – filmmaker Tony Britten founded Capriol Films in 2005, the company has produced a string of high profile films, ranging though documentary,opera and drama. Production is based in Norfolk, utilising the skilled talent pool that exists in the area. We also edit in Norfolk at East North East Films, with final post production in London, where we also have an office. All films are shot in high definition – Capriol led the way in the adoption of this exciting new technology in the region.
Capriol’s ethos is to make films of the highest quality, both technically and artistically, whilst keeping production costs at a sensible level. In the current economic climate this has become an imperative and is achieved by operating a production hub of creatives and technicians. We believe that this way of working will secure our future; maintaining our standards whilst creating valuable local employment.
Our latest venture is the "Learning with Vision" strand, which was launched with our production of "She Stoops to Conquer" and its accompanying documentary, "A Gooseberry Fool". These films are part of an extensive learning package targeted at A level English and Drama students and are the first of a planned series of film adaptations of classic plays.
Capriol also has a strong relationship with Tony Britten’s internationally acclaimed opera company, Music Theatre London. MTL has performed throughout the UK and in Germany, Holland, Belgium and Vienna. We now have a library of contemporary versions of mainstream operas, which we intend to turn into films. The first film version of an MTL show was Verdi’s “Falstaff”, with other opera films to follow, all available on the Signum Vision DVD label.
