Ricko very rarely types on the site so we’re going to leave this little blurb as a “come and get it” to see if the legendary lens jockey gets his iwack in gear and gets online. Proper good shit this.

Sometimes it’s important to go back to your roots and spend 6 days locked in a little room with nothing but construction paper and cheap tape. Mojofury came to us asking for a “weird video” that they wouldn’t feature in… so naturally we got a guy to bake up his own acid and dribble his way across Leeds.
Richard John Galloway is available for weddings, birthday parties, store openings… get in touch.

Jeeez, it’s taken ages to get our office moved, it’s taken even longer to get our net installed - no thanks to Virgin Broadband, you sly petty bastards. We are now with Talk Talk… who are German apparently… das internetz ist not doonloaden! schnell schell!
But don’t worry, your favourite Leeds Video Production company are back, and we’ve got loads to show you. Mojofury and Last Lungs are both going online as soon as we stop marvelling at the information world… lolcats etc Then we have In The Mix preparing itself for a debut after a 14 month production schedule. Good times.
But yeah, feel free to give us a call on our new Roach Line 0113 318 8293
Good times.

The poor form of site updates from Roach Productions continues into 2010, but better late than never eh?
Right, to bring you up to speed. We’ve just finished shooting our latest short film, which is a long time follow up to our highly praised debute ‘Led’ (2008), and will be realeased on the 1st June. Written by the amazing Martin McDonaugh (In Bruges) and produced alongside our good friends the Hanrick Theatre Company, the film is called “The Little Jesus Story” and will be projected during the Hanrick production of “The Pillowman” which will be at Bar Seven in Leeds from the 21st May. You can get tickets for it here, but it’s worth pointing out that you need to email the venue to reserve tickets, clearly they are in need of a roach website design update…
In other news we have also just wrapped the video for Belfast’s hot ticket rock supremo’s mojoFURY and that video is currently in the editing cave. Yet another video production shot in Leeds, this one involved an acid trip beyond all acid trips and will be an absolute corker for all your substance bearing teeth knashers our there. Have a listen to the bands tunes and I’ll soon post all the images and final vid as soon as possible.
But if I don’t… sod ya… you’ll have to wait longer.
Our new series will be piloting this week so fingers crossed the audiance are happy little morons and we get a nice chunk of commission to make more, which will then lead to our ultimate goal… which I ain’t saying here.
Would like to make a shameless plug now for our good friend Mj Holloway who runs the rather glorious 5DHire.co.uk website.
That is all for now, keep posting, keep sending us your mail, it’s grand.
Enjoy the summer, try not to get crabs.

Produced by Roach Productions
Director / Editor - Ricko Roach
Dance Choreography: Nicola Dunn
Production Co-Ordinator: Kirk Maxx
Driver: Lee Charallah
Artist: Jester Jacobs
Track: Blap
Label: Organised Mess
Just when you thought it was safe to walk the streets not smelling like a festival toilet after a solid night of teeth clenching water bottle draining dance heads have had their wicked way with you, check out the new video for our friends over at Organised Mess. Jester Jacobs gets up to his usual shit in this stonker from his Mental Disorder album, and as usual we spent low so the boys can all have christmas presents this year. We’d like to point out that those are orginal super soakers from 1996 so as usual with Roach, you get the GENUINE. Have a watch, see how you feel, cause we can tell you that this video won’t make you feel like you wasted 3 minutes of your life. That’s a Roachy PROMISE.

If someone walked into your room wearing sunglasses and complained it was too dark.
Would you get up and turn on more lights?
Or tell them to take their friggin sunglasses off?
If your on this site it better be the latter; because we’re not turning that damn light on for you.
Welcome to Roach Productions. Take a seat and enjoy the ride.

With Imicus - Viseral all set for Scuzz release this month, now would be a good time to take stock over whats happening at Roach Productions.
In a nutshell, we’re taking some time off. With Jester Jacobs, idreaminmetaphors and Castrovalva all slated for video releases within the next 3 months, plus the super secret BBC Three pilot we’ve been working on, and of course the adverts we’ve made for John Parkin’s F*ck It, oh and then there’s our pre-production on our return to the film world…..
Basically, our hands are totally full at the momment.
That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get in touch, we’ve been talking to some fantastic artists recently, and we’ll always want to work with artists we enjoy being around with tracks we believe in. Just don’t expect us to turn round a video by next week!
We’ll be returning to the fold in February 2010 once our current projects have been finalised and released. Keep your emails coming, we’ve always got our ears open to the next genius idea.
Much love from Roach, and I hope you all have a truely grimey Christmas.
KJP
