Buy Local Campaign
Buy local this Christmas.
Experience the quiet magic, and hidden influence shaping modern family life in this Christmas campaign brought to life across the Isle of Man.
Writer and Director Andy Orton explains:
“Digital technology is no longer about tools and convenience… it’s about deliberately maximising screen time through personalisation. We need to be more vigilant about living in the real world. It’s a much better place for your family to be.”
From starring in Christopher Nolan’s cult debut Following to roles in Batman Begins, Tenet, and as the lead in the psychological thriller Convergence, Jeremy delivers a masterclass in subtle menace.
He’s also a filmmaker, educator, and a driving force behind the Isle of Man’s growing film industry. Today, he’s helping to launch Screen Isle of Man – a vital portal showcasing the island’s film locations, talent, and crew.
A force of nature on set, with the focus and poise of a seasoned actress. She never failed to bring energy and fun to every behind-the-scenes moment, and when she’s not performing, you’ll find her lost in a good book, or racing around at athletics club.
Vivi began her journey with Stage Ed summer school performances and now trains with the Parker Snell Company. Installed marks her exciting on-camera debut – and we’re certain it won’t be her last.
Shot across local businesses including the The Barn at Ballaughton, Frank Matcham’s, Sir Norman’s Bar, Magazzino, Juliette’s Cake Decorating Experience, and Stanley’s Restaurant & Café.
A sincere thank you to the businesses who volunteered their time - small businesses like this are so important to support, they truly help make the island feel more alive.
