SCANNER-RHODES PRODUCTIONS LTD was established in 1999 by Dean Fisher to develop and produce feature films for theatrical release and broadcast distribution.
Scanner-Rhodes has produced three feature films and successfully marketed two short films, earning a reputation for being creative and resourceful in bringing groundbreaking film projects into the mainstream.
In January 2006 Scanner-Rhodes Productions embarked on their first feature film. NightJunkies is a dark, sexy, urban vampire thriller. Filmed on High Definition Video on a micro budget of £50,000 (the equivalent to a single shot in a Harry Potter film!) the film was made at 3 Mills Studios and on location around alleyways once frequented by Jack The Ripper. After receiving numerous offers the film was signed up by International sales agents Renegade Pictures and a US representative, Strategic Film Partners, in November 2006. Night Junkies was released in the US by Illumination in July 2007 and is already in profit grossing $300,000 on US rentals alone. The film has since been sold to 11 territories, including Zone Horror through Content International.
In August 2007 Scanner-Rhodes secured the funds, working through the Enterprise Initiative Scheme (or EIS), for their second feature film production. City Rats is an ensemble black comedy and a witty social commentary set in London. It features Danny Dyer and Tamer Hassan, stars of international hit films The Business and Football Factory – collectively they have appeared in some of the UK’s biggest feature film successes of this decade. City Rats also stars Susan Lynch (From Hell, Waking Ned, Elizabeth), Ray Panthaki (28 Days Later, Ali G In Da House, Kidulthood) and Myanna Burring (The Descent and Doomsday). City Rats will be receive a UK multiplatform release in theatrical in April 2009 by Revolver, with its UK gala premiere at the East End Film Festival and a world premier at Slamdance 2009. City Rats was produced for the price of one shot in a Hollywood studio film. On May 4th 2009 City Rats entered some of the UK DVD charts at number 3 and the official UK charts at number 6 having sold a staggering 26,365 copies in week 1. The film has continued to hold it's own by selling 350,000 DVD's in the first year of release. City Rats has been sold internationally to Germany, Australia and is currently in talks to be released by a major in the UK, firmly placing Scanner-Rhodes Productions as a bankable and commercial producer of films in the UK marketplace.
In July 2010 Scanner-Rhodes Productions greenlit it's third feature film 'Operation Stormhouse'. Directed by Dan Turner, the film was shot entirely on a disused Military Base in Suffolk creating an amazing backdrop and setting for a ground breaking high concept Horror film. Operation Stormhouse script and story is extremly very powerful, but most importantly is part of the very successful horror genre. It fits the mould of the Horror films which do not need high profile cast or talent in order to be successful, as successes like Paranormal Activity, Blair Witch Project, the Descent, Dog Soldiers, Saw and Hostel. The film is now in post-production and based on the quality of footage, the film has already received some offers.
After extensive development, our new slate for 2010, includes the titles, The Man Inside, Eddie’s Dead and Stingers.
