Anchovy Pictures
'Small fish in a big pond'. Anchovy is a microstudio set up to fund, make and distribute films in a new way. Too many films look like what they are – the products of an industry. Small budgets give filmmakers creative freedom while the web helps find audiences and build communities outside the stranglehold of traditional distribution. If you've got a film that you think could use the Anchovy treatment, get in touch.
