BEING NICE

About the film

Independent Feature Film BEING NICE follows newly-dumped Jen, who, about to abandon her dream of becoming an artist, begrudgingly starts a trial in a top London advertising agency and, to her surprise, after connecting with a romantically disillusioned colleague, starts to enjoy life as a grown-up and the wild lifestyle that follows; but when the pull of her old life gets in the way of new responsibilities, Jen must grow up quickly if she wants to hang on to the job and people she's started to fall for.

    'Very highly recommended' & 'This is a very confident debut, with stunning lead performances' says Battle Royal With Cheese! BattleRoyaleWithCheese Reviews Being Nice

    'This film is highly recommended by Loud Green Bird. It is an example of what can happen when an independent filmmaker writes a great story, has outstanding assistance from his crew, and assembles a cast whose members work together like a seasoned ensemble.' Loud Green Bird Reviews Being Nice

    The feature film is just $5.99 (£3.75) to Stream or Download in HD at http://beingnice.vhx.tv (it's almost as easy as buying a film on Itunes, and cheaper!)

    If you have already seen the film and liked it it would be great if you could share the film wherever you can, it'll really help drive more sales and help us make more films in the future!

    Being Nice Writer/Director Andrew Blackburn has done a ridiculously in-depth Q and A with Filmcourage.com about making the film and, by extension, his life! Loads of info about how we made the film for such a low budget, what his biggest annoyance growing up was and how he got his start in film sweeping up sawdust..

    Being Nice - OUT NOW - Just $5.99/£3.75

    Nov 14, 2014 / Andrew Blackburn

    Hello, friends!

    It’s an absolute pleasure to announce the VOD release of my debut feature film BEING NICE. You can Stream or Download for just $5.99 (approx £3.75) from http://beingnice.vhx.tv - there’s no registration or sign-up and you can even pay with PayPal..

    "Sweet without becoming cloying, likeable without lingering, it deserves to find an audience on VOD" 7/10 VODzilla.co

    Being Nice tells the story of Jen (Jessica Francis in her feature debut), an aspiring artist in her early 20s who, fresh out of university, begrudgingly takes a job in advertising. We follow Jen as, much to her surprise, she begins to enjoy working life and her rebellious nature causes her to connect with a romantically disillusioned colleague played by Alex Warren (Powder Room, Being Human).

    The film has been a labour of love for so many people, most working for little or no money, and it's thanks to those people that we managed to get to this day. So a massive thank you to everyone who has helped out in any capacity on the film - couldn't have done it without you.

    I really hope you can find time to watch or share or get involved, it’d mean a lot to me and the whole cast and crew.

    Enjoy!

    Thank you,
    Andy Blackburn
    Writer & Director
