In December of 2000, a little project went underway that would take four years of weekends to make by just three people, with available extras and crew. With a budget of zero and the potential knowledge of what can be done with very little they set to work on their first film a feature titled 'The Veil'. In 2007 their next film a short titled 'Chainmail' a finalist for the Delta Award at the International Festival of Fantastic Films and official selection at the AOF Film Festival lead the way for 'The Veil' to be released onto DVD in January of 2008. It received critical praise for it's use of realism, underlining subplots, and survivalist elements in the realm of modern horror.
In 2008, their latest film a short 'The Day I Tried to Live' a sci-fi fantasy picked up The Xristos Award - Best Guerilla Film at the AOF Film Festival held in L.A in July followed by a showing at the Portobello film festival that same year. In 2009, 'The Waiting Room', was nominated for Best Horror Screenplay at the International Action on Film Festival. Most recently, Chance Encounters were Guest editors on Propeller4film - a British short film website boasting the best of UK emerging talent. This year keeping busy while looking for financiers and funding for future projects the crew are hard at work on two short films back to back and a new 'cut' of 'The Veil' for a new distributor.
