About Ark Movie Productions

Ark Movie Productions is an independent production company with a focus on making films about true events.

Rob Stushki – CEO

Rob found himself on the set of the film “Best Laid Plans” back in 2011 during a successful career in music entertainment. This re-ignited his passion for all things film.

He went on to secure the rights to make “Last Kings of London” after working in the offices of a UK film company. Rob has been instrumental in the creation and development of this film, which is now in pre-production.

Rob has also been instrumental in advancing the comedy “Dirty Truckers” to the pre-production stage.

Never one to rest on his laurels, Rob is also the initial creator of “Refuge”, which is currently in the earlier stages of development.

The “Last Kings of London” is a film written and directed by Ray Burdis, an industry legend with whom I have had the honour of working with before.

Ray Burdis produced “The Krays” in 1990. This was a critically acclaimed and commercially lucrative film starring Gary and Martin Kemp.

Synopsis

This is a true story. But there are always two sides to any story. The Krays were not really the glamorous duo that have become a part of popular folklore. Actually, they were vicious thugs.

The “Last Kings of London” tells that other side of this story. It shines a spotlight on the violence and the terror they spread. It does so through the eyes of DCI Leonard “Nipper” Read, the Scotland Yard Detective who finally brought the Krays’s to justice in 1969.

Ray Burdis

Ray Burdis has over 50 years experience in the industry as a writer, producer, actor and director.

His hits include “The Krays” (1990). “The Wee Man” (2013) and “Love Honour and Obey” (2000).

A winner of many nominations and BAFTA’s, Ray has worked with many legends of stage and screen. Such as: Ray Winstone, Jude Law, Jonny Lee Miller, John Hannah, Kathy Burke, Martin Compston and Sadie Frost.

Ready for Investors

The “Last Kings of London” is in pre-production and ready to go! If you are a film investor the timing is perfect to get involved!

“Dirty Truckers” is a period comedy set in the 1980’s.

Once again it’s a film based on a true story. Telling a real story such as this is ingrained in the Ark Movie Productions DNA.

Star-Studded Cast

Furthermore, the legends that are Ricky Tomlinson, Perry Benson and Alison King are already onboard to headline a star-studded cast.

Synopsis

In the 1980’s Britain was plunged into mass unemployment. If you drove a tipper truck and worked in a quarry there were opportunities to “get creative” with ways to earn more money.

But the drivers “bite off more than they can chew”. They know they need to keep a low profile with their endeavours.

But they increasingly come to the attention of the Police, the corrupt quarry owners and the local Mafia.

Often with hilarious consequences.

Ready for Investors

It gets better though. If you are investor, this film is already written and at the pre-production stage. It’s the perfect time to get involved!

Based on another true story, “Refuge” is the latest film project to join the Ark Movie Productions stable.

As such it is at the planning rather than the pre-production stage at the time of writing. But a story of this calibre should excite investors who are looking for a world class pipeline of film productions to invest in.

Synopsis

It’s the early 1970’s and London is basking in the bohemian sunset of the “swinging sixties”. But there’s a darker side to society bought into focus by Erin Pizzey.

Her Women’s Community Centre in Chiswick soon became swamped with battered wives and their children. These women were the first to publicly escape from a horrid life that had previously been swept under the carpet by society. Never to be mentioned.

For Erin and her stalwart friend Anne Ashby this was the start of a battle with the press, police, politicians and the legal system.

As we now look back to those times it’s unfathomable to comprehend how the various pillars of the establishment were so determined to thwart these efforts to establish safe houses for battered women and their children.

But, nevertheless, that’s what happened. There were threats of jail terms, a murder, a fire and all sorts of obstacles thrown in their way.

But then Queen Elizabeth II made a subtle intervention. Soon after that the tide started turning in favour of justice and legitimate safe havens for these victims of abuse.
