'A History Of A Time To Come' U.K. Thrash Documentary In Post-Production

March 29, 2012

The makers of the documentary "A History Of A Time To Come", based on the history of the U.K. thrash movement, have begun editing the film.

The filmmakers wrapped production last month and has just started the editing process at Prime Studios in Leeds.

Commented director Joshua Callis-Smith: "It’s a great feeling to be finally in the edit looking over everything we’ve shot over the last year, during the process all the interviews and 80+ hours of footage will be pulled together to create what is effectively the film. The aim is to have a rough cut within the next two weeks so we can really start to play about with the structure and graphics we want to put in the film”

The editing process will take place over the next three months before the film moves into the grading, visual effect and sound mix stages with a likely release for the end of this year.

The film covers the complete story of the U.K. thrash metal scene — its ups, its downs and its impact on the U.K. and global music industry. The project plans to pull together and uncover the full story of the U.K. thrash scene, from its roots in the mid-'80s until the present day.

U.K. music journalist Greg Moffitt is currently writing a book entitled "One Foot In The Gravy" as a companion piece to the film. The book will expand the narrative, adding layers of detail and exploring in greater depth the development, decline and eventual re-emergence of U.K. thrash.

Sneak peeks, new trailers and possibly even some never-before-seen content will be made available over the next six months.
