You’ve heard of the six degrees of Kevin Bacon, right? It’s an assumption that anyone involved in the Hollywood film industry can be connected to him within six people.

 

Well, our friends are delighted that they’re one step closer to the Bacon thanks to our project with Universal Pictures. We were commissioned to tell the incredible story of one of the most unique films ever made - Tremors. Featuring Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward, and 20ft long stumpy underground space worms – yes, really – it not only tells the story about the making of the iconic comedy horror movie, but also its impact on Hollywood by kickstarting the VHS rental market.

 

The film rewards existing fans as well as reintroduces it and the ongoing film franchise to a much broader audience globally. The documentary had a multifaceted objective to drive audiences to the Tremors YouTube channel and simultaneously provide amplification of the brand to a wider audience to revisit the film on NBC's streaming service, Peacock, or other platforms including Netflix whereTremors has recently been ranking in the Top 10 most viewed films. The resulting 45 minute documentary was of course highly editorial in tone, but with clear marketing objectives.

 

And Kevin Bacon is in it. So why are you still reading this? Watch it. Go. Go now.

As well as the main 45 min documentary we created deeper dives into niche topics for Tremors fans to really get their teeth into the topic, and extended interviews too.

“This was a joy from day 1. The production team put everything they had into the documentary, taking my vision and truly elevating it to something very special. From pre-production, to shooting in LA, then editing it back in London, I can honestly say it was one of the most satisfying and creative projects I can remember. A real career highlight.”
