Our 2009 fan film lurks here for Tolkien bookworms and indie filmmakers. A true labour of love, we had a blast visualising a few moments in Middle-earth. Extremely excited now to hear about the new official Hunt for Gollum film that will be made!
And our film is back already! We’ve had an interesting day to say the least. Grateful to WB for being so gracious. & love also to all the Tolkien fans who remembered us. We’re very excited though that

himself will be telling this new story.
We’re a bit surprised to see our film got blocked from YouTube, hope temporarily - we’re enquiring in case it can be reinstated as it’s clearly a non profit homage/fan effort. ❤️
After being up for 15 years and after accumulating over 13 million views, The Hunt For Gollum fan film on YouTube has been copyright striked by WB on the day of the official film’s announcement. 😔

@DiscussingFilm
We're the makers of this fan film and are feeling a bit sad to see it taken down. Hopeful this was a knee jerk reaction though, and it might be allowed to keep roaming the net in future... A labour of love project by fans for fans that it was :)

@AndyBobMckee
Thanks for sharing. Totally agree this is the only and best way to cut drama, esp when shooting lots of takes, including improv/off script!
Really good piece on the precise and brilliant minds at

Using case numbers not useful (because we are not testing people in the UK). Can you make a similar graph using death rates instead?? Nobody seems to have done this yet...

@GillTarba
Hey thanks Tarba, we are aware, yes, but we don’t know who uploaded it or how to report it. We’d be happy for it to be on Amazon for free to be honest!

Data Protection Act / privacy law stops community testing data being given to local authorities? Another predictable problem, likely made worse if it’s private companies doing pillar 2 testing without much gov supervision.

Hadn’t notice but it’s a long lens for sure. Lot of long lens use in 80s and 90s flicks. That and humans seem have quite surprising variation in head size!
