Production of series 2 of "Night is Day" is well underway with the first 3 episodes out of 7 shot so far, and episode 1 has now been edited. We will soon be working on a series of corporate film productions as well as television commerical productions and web video productions for new clients in the next couple of months.

Two short films are planned to be filmed before the end of the year with hope to film a feature film in summer 2009. If you're looking for any video editing or business video production please contact us.

Night is Day Series 1 is now available to buy on DVD for only £10. The two disc set has the entire first series, following the adventures of Jason Mackenzie, a young Glaswegian superhero dealing with his new powers while keeping the streets safe from the evil Mr. Philips. The second disc is packed with a making of documentary, cast interviews, audition footage, a music video, outtakes and more. All proceeds go to paying our expenses for making series 1 and funding series 2.

Series 2 of "Night is Day" starts filming in May in Glasgow. We're in pre-production with that right now and auditions are on the 15th and 22nd of March. All "Night is Day" news can be found at http://www.nightisday.com

We have several short films in the works including "Late Night", a character drama piece, "I Heart You", a romantic dark-comedy and "Lucky Penny", a fantasy drama short film.

2008 is a busy year for Silly Wee Films with "Night is Day" and our short films as well as corporate video work starting to come in. 2009 will see the production of our first feature film taking place.
