Lucas and Albert: Best Feature Film Award at The 2021 National Film Awards
About Us
Our film production background goes back over 30 years, all the way back to 1990. A.G. Longhurst (Tony), left drama school and decided to write a play entitled: Long Live the King, soon taking up residency at The Springfield Park Tavern in Bounds Green, North London. Over the next few years, over 30 plays were produced, leading to Tony to start writing ‘Babysitters’ alongside Robert Putt. This was the beginning of Longhurst and Putt Productions.

Babysitters
The next project is Babysitters. This is the third and final film in this trilogy of film and ties up all the unanswered question to this saga. Babysitters will be a far bigger project than both Lucas and Albert and Tales of the underworld.
Babysitters has been the catalyst to the whole project.
What started of as an idea in 1997 as a stage play has evolved in to much more and become a life’s work . From a stage play that was presented in 2015 at the Brookside theatre in Romford to the award winning Lucas and Albert and Tales of the Underworld.
Once Babysitters is finished I will be writing a novel that I am working on about the whole fictional history before the films and after. I hope then to turn this into a mini series but that is in the future and will not happen until Babysitters is completed.
Tales of the Underworld
Tales of the Underworld is a prequel to Lucas and Albert and the forthcoming Babysitters. It is a series of short stories that are intertwined and linked to the whole universe. Introducing characters that have not been seen or just spoken about.
Told through the eyes of Jarvis, an investigative reporter who is trying to locate one of his sources.
Each story is an individual tale about crime. It also looks at the side of the police, informants, and the people affected by crime. It also gives back stories to several of the characters that appeared in Lucas and Albert, and will appear in Babysitters. It has a great cast and we have also given opportunities to several new artists in front of the camera as well as behind.
The film looks at the less glamorous side of crime as portrayed in many films and looks at the underbelly that can cause devitalising to those who chose such a life. The film looks at crime with a realism of traditional British Crime genres and films such as – Get Carter – The Long Good Friday- The TV series the Sweeney and The GF Newman series Law and Order. That the BBC made in the 1980s.
The film has already been nominated for several awards. It has also had many screenings in Essex, Surrey and London as well as in Lanzarote at the Rooftop Cinema in Puerto Del Carmen. We hope this will drive us on to get the funding needed to complete the trilogy.
