Anecdotes

A Fitting Tribute is a 2007 British short film comedy-drama film directed by Daniel Cormack and starring Sally Bretton, Thomas Nelstrop and April Nicholson.

Production

The screenplay for the film was partly based on Ben Clover's real-life experiences of death-knocks as a reporter for the South London Press and production started after the project won a funding award from the Lewisham Film Initiative with Will Briggs, stepson of the comedian Malcolm Hardee, acting as co-producer.

Filming was completed on the day of the deadline for the UK Film Council Completion Fund which "provides finance and support for short films that show outstanding potential but lack the funds to finish." Despite being only a rough assembly, the film won a completion funding award: "the completion fund was what we wanted the most really...it's actually, apart from Cinema Extreme, the only nationwide UK Film Council short film funding scheme.

A Super 8mm intro sequence, self-shot by the director Daniel Cormack on the then recently discontinued Kodachrome film stock, was added subsequent to principal photography.
