Based in the rural North East of England and founded in 2009, ‘Hawk Valley Productions’ is a small film group primarily comprising of founder-members Jem Freiesleben and Crispin Agar.
Our aim is to produce a few short films every year, our focus mostly being submissions to short-film festivals and competitions. As a group we have had our work screened as Part of the Co-Operative Film Festival 2011 and 2012, and as individuals we’ve received awards in both film and photography.

Did the cameras pick up the smoke from the burning oil ? Time for an engine rebuild !
Cameras pick up the smoke from oil burning off ? Time for an engine overhaul !
A few faux pas in this rather woodenly narrated documentary. The Iron Works closed in Sept '68 hence the works hooter would cease then, not 1969! Facts laddie, get the facts!
When did the mines shut ? I've got it in my mind that the iron works shut in 69.
@@millomweb Defo Sept '68
@@Straker1923 Yeah, could be right - three years after 65.
had a '64 TR4 from '71 to '75 ...enjoyed your video, now thats what I call sports car country
Excellent video 👍👍👍😁😁😁😁
Love the TR4 but your steering wheel is on the wrong side
Sublime.....excellent ....well done.
Is that dad driving with wurzels hat?
Interesting, I was in Haverigg yesterday and you can see the remains of the ironworks in Millom. Also until 1992, the town had a factory producing stockings and tights. Yet Millom seems to be fighting back as the tourist industry in Haverigg is bringing more money into the area, the town has a Tesco now, and the prison is a major employer. Then Barrow, where hundreds of people work at the shipyard, is served by an hourly train service from Millom.
Thanks for your comments! I've lived here for a few years now, it's a very interesting place with lots of local history!
@@HawkValleyProductions Keep digging - still more history to find - like the dead baby found on the tip on 1st Dec 1989
And that Tesco is rubbish, before Tesco we had a Morrison's, Lipton's, Somerfields, Safeways and a few others in the same place, Safeways was by far the best
@@wiganfan3373 Been a long time since I've been into Millom, only thought there was a Tesco.
@@Glenn1967ful they where all in the same building at some point, Tesco is just the most recent, would love Aldi to take it over
Bonjour. J"aimerais vous contacter pour vérifier un point sur le cablage du starter ..... que je n'ai jamais vu effectué de la sorte Merci. Bear ([email protected])
I will try and find out from my Dad, it's his car. It was an American import (by the previous owner) so it is possible it is in like a different market? It is also an early model car.
Not sure what happened to the title alignment!
This is a really nice potted history of Millom mate - well done. I was born there in the early 60;s when it was a thriving town with full employment. My mother started her working life at the Tannery and dad worked at the Ironworks. I can remember, as a five year-old boy, when they held a mock funeral, carrying a coffin through the streets when the Ironworks closed to signify the death of the town. I've always loved going back to visit family and spend holidays, but as the film says, the town has been shamefully neglected over the decades since by Copeland Council. In hindsight, demolishing all the buildings associated with the industry was a big mistake if you see what Whitehaven has made of it's industrial heritage. Millom could've done the same. But it still has beautiful coastline, unbeatably friendly, decent people and I really hope the future is as bright as the film suggests. Millom deserves a bit of good luck. But please don't fix the road down to the Rocks and the Mains - I selfishly still love having them all to myself when I go for my coast walks!
My grandmother is from Millom and I visited in October from Texas. Wonderful, down-to-earth people live there, and I felt completely at home, oddly enough. I would rather spend a week there chatting and drinking with the locals than I would dragging around London or some other popular "destination".
Thanks for your comments! (Sorry for the delayed reply!). It's a fascinating place, with a great sense of local history. As you say, though, pity so much of the historical structures have been lost or demolished - they could have been such an asset!So close to the south lakes but not really benefiting in the way some towns and villages have on the more fashionable side of the lakes!
Millom wouldn't be so bad if a civilisation moved in. There are too many inhabitants keen on killing everything off.
Loved the video, but Jem please talk your dad into fitting seatbelts.
What a brilliant film - so exciting! Great sound, and quiet after....and the sheep. Thank you.
Thanks!
I had a 1962 TR4 as well. Left hand drive. I hate to be negative regarding the car in the video but the motor sounds like a putt putt. My TR4 was all stock including the entire muffler system and did it sound mean. Especially at exactly 2800 RPM it emitted a horn sound that was clearly distinctive of the TR4. I remember one day I was driving to school and came up behind on someone who was driving an MGA. When we arrived at school he told me that he knew it was a TR4 tailing him because of the "wailing" sound of the muffler when it reached 2800 RPM as I shifted through the gears. I hate to disparage the TR4 in the video but it really sounds like a putt putt.
Francisco De Cordova thanks for your comment - I think this is mostly because of the way the sound was recorded, it sounds a lot meaner in real life! To record the sound without wind noise I mounted a microphone on rear bumper right by the exhaust. If I were to do it again I’d also put a pair of mics inside the engine bay too for a fuller sound. I think you’ll agree that although far from perfect it’s better than most recordings you see where there’s wind crackle the whole way through. The TR4, which is Dad’s, does have a big bore exhaust but all the rest is stock. Best Regards, Jem
@@HawkValleyProductions Your explanation makes sense. I really love the countryside where you shot the video in. I wish I lived where I could have driven my TR4 on winding country rides like your video. Best wishes.
Absolutely brilliant
Nice car, nice sound, nice film. Daft hat (probably got a pony tail under it!). Gloves too even though you passenger doesn't seem to need any.
Thanks for your comments! Can confirm hat is even dafter when seen in person... Definitely no pony tail though (Dad's not got enough hair...)
Just watched your excellent film again, really captures the scenery, the car and the sound. I can forgive the hat as at least its not one of those leather ones that all the posers wear. Don't know how your dad keeps that hat on. I haven't got much hair either and have to wear a baseball cap (furtively) when I drive my TR7/V8 as a hat would blow away!
@@Outofcontrol39 He usually has a straw hat and not this daft one (which I think is mother's) - I think he mostly didn't want the back of head to be visible... Glad you liked the video! I wired a microphone right next to the exhaust... a few years on, it still smells of soot!!
Lovely film; a fix of nostalgia for us.
beautiful!
What a lovely film, I'm looking forward to the next one. Struck a chord because I have a TR4 that is ending a restoration this year, and I'm from Northumberland. I'll run it down from the Scottish Borders and give you a wave when we pass! Thanks for a great, evocative film of a lovely car.
Nice! Let me know if you ever want yours soundwired! (I'm south lakes now though!)
Nice video! I love the sound of the engine.
Love the TR4! My Dad had one two and I would like to get one again.
Thanks! I've got a Triumph Spitfire IV thats finally nearing the end of it's restoration... I'll be soundwiring that when I can as well!
nice sound
This was great! Good job and good luck :)
Thanks for taking us on the ride! Felt like I was there :P Good luck to you!
