Well it has been quite a jam-packed few weeks for us here at Revelation Films. We headed over to Europe last week for a mega-shoot in three countries with Andy Swallow for our film about his life - Underdog. First we headed over to Baden, Switzerland where we took Andy to a tower that he resided in for four months back in the 80s. When we say resided, he didn't have much choice in the matter if you catch our drift but it really was a blast from the past and the story is really fascinating. Then we hopped over to Rome for a day where we were invited into the headquarters of the Lazio Ultras where we filmed with a few members. This is a conversation not to be missed. Our final stop was Tenerife, where we filmed Andy, his son Danny and a few DJS broadcasting live for Centreforce Radio. It was quite the change from the freezing 15th century prison tower that we were in a few days earlier!

​

The film is due for completion early this summer and we really hope to shine a light on someone that the country feels like it knows already, but really doesn't. It's a story that should be told.

​

As well as Andy and Danny Swallow, the film also features contributions from Irvine Welsh, Terry Stone, Cass Pennant, Carton Leach, Bill Gardner, a host of Centreforce DJs and many more!

Revelation will be in attendance at MIPCOM 2023 with our slate of standout true crime productions - existing, brand new and in development.

Episodes 2, 3 and 4 will follow weekly before we take a break for Christmas then we return on 8th January 2024 for the final four episodes. We're really proud that the third series retains everything that makes this show so popular with audiences and we can't wait for you to see it.

We are proud to announce that Revelation Films has become a founder member of the Association Of True Crime Producers. As members of the association, we recognise that it is our duty to adhere to guidelines that are designed to protect the loved ones of the victims whose stories are covered in our shows.
 
We have always endeavoured to be respectful when we cover these cases and talk about some of the most brutal of crimes, and the ATCP is an initiative that has been set up to ensure that members conform to the highest possible standards of integrity.
 
Since starting work on The Real Manhunter in 2020, we’re proud to have received many phone calls and emails from the families and friends of victims, whether they have appeared in the show or chosen not to, all of which have been positive and even thankful for the way we have handled the stories. We cover the cases with both authenticity and sensitivity which has dovetailed with the series lead, former DCI Colin Sutton’s own working practices during his time leading a Metropolitan Police murder and serious crime squad.
 
We will continue to carry these standards across all of our current and future productions.

The story of the Rettendon Range Rover murders remains one of the most talked about crimes in modern Britain and this film will finally put rest to all the conspiracies and false accounts that have been ongoing for over thirty years. This brand new film will be available digitally from 30th October 2023.

After an eventful two-month shoot, we finally wrapped on our latest project this week. West End Girls, whilst sticking with the true crime genre, will be something a little different for us and for that reason we can't give too much information away. What we will say though is that it feels special, and important, and we hope you all feel the same when you see it.

Come see us and Colin Sutton in CrimeCon on the 11th and 12 June at CrimeCon London. We will be there with The Real Manhunter merchandise. Colin Sutton will be speaking on Saturday and Sunday as well as doing a book signing.
