'One Day' Endorsements

Yorkshire Evening Post - The first surprise was One Day, an impressive and appealing UK short, that was not only amusing, but tender.

Angel Magazine - it is a great 15 minutes, bursting with ideas and excellent performances.

I absolutely loved the film - really original, fun script and laugh-out-loud performances. It was a breath of fresh air!
(Susan Breen, feature film development producer, Aardman)

A big movie in short form - (Ellin Stein, ex-Miramax)

I thought One Day was one of the most engaging short films I have seen. Not many shorts are daring enough to tackle a subtle and tender story, but here the strong script, solid acting and accurate pacing result in One Day accomplishing this beautifully - (Glynn Ryland, Head of Development, Cinema and Television Benevolent Fund)

I laughed, I cried. It changed my view of short films - (Stuart Williamson, IBM Media and Entertainment)

This is an excellent film, great direction, very funny and well-written script, lovely pacing and wonderful performances. I loved it, everyone should see it. (Tristram Shapeero, director)

An amazing film, I am extremely inspired - (Kenan Arif, ITV)

The 'One Day' Trailer

Owen breaks free from his mundane, suburban, claustrophobic office routine and escapes to Blackpool for the day with the girl from the video shop. He shouldn't... but he's off on one.

One Day - Principal Photography

The week of filming 'One Day' was extremely successful. We had all the right elements on our side. The three days in Blackpool went fantastically including the weather being gorgeous for us to film at the Tower. Basingstoke was wonderful with beautiful performances from Tim McInnerny as 'Owen' and Hayley Carmichael as 'Greta'. And the offices in Bishops Stortford worked a treat with lots of comedy from both Tim and Toby Stephens as the boss 'Mr Buckel'. Our crew have been amazing and given 100% commitment, we couldn't be more grateful.

Stock-pot's Biography

Stock-pot Productions Ltd
Stock-pot is in development with their first feature 'FLY ME' bringing back on board ONE DAY's director James Barriscale, with Toby Stephens in the lead, and Tim McInnerny. “One Day” was Stock-pot’s third short, was a Kodak Finalist for Best Short Film 2007, and has been officially selected in numerous international film festivals. “Missing”, in association with Lifesize Films, was premiered at London’s Raindance Film Festival in 2004, and “The Briefcase That Brings Out The Baby In You”, an experimental piece, has been seen at a number of small British film festivals.
Stock-pot Prods was founded by Tanya Franks presenting “Play Readings of Shaw” (Theatre Museum), cast included the late Paul Eddington, and Les Dennis, with proceeds going to Shelter. “Deckchairs” (Kings Head) was the next production, which led to two years worth of drama workshops in Girls Secondary Schools funded by the National Lottery. Other theatre included “All Fall Away” and You Don’t Kiss” co-productions between Stock-pot and Pursued By A Bear. Stock-pot Prods then added its interest in film and produced “The Talking Film Series” (LIFS and Prince Charles Cinema). This was a series of live interviews with film directors Alan Parker, Mike Leigh, Terry Jones, Mike Figgis and Terry Gilliam.
