Buy Local Campaign

Buy Local Video Campaign for the Isle of Man.

This short film explores the hidden influence shaping modern family life and encourages the Isle of Man to think about their community this Christmas.

Watch the Directors Cut

Written and produced by DotPerformance, the Directors cut "Installed" features extended footage across businesses in several towns across the Isle of Man and culminates in a high-impact ending.

A shorter version was produced for publication across Isle of Man Government and press channels.

Writer and Director Andy Orton explains:

“Digital technology is no longer about tools and convenience… it’s about deliberately maximising screen time through personalisation. We need to be more vigilant about living in the real world. It’s a much better place for your family to be.”

Meet Jeremy Theobald - Our Villain

From starring in Christopher Nolan’s cult debut Following to roles in Batman Begins, Tenet, and as the lead in the psychological thriller Convergence, Jeremy delivers a masterclass in subtle menace.

He’s also a filmmaker, educator, and a driving force behind the Isle of Man’s growing film industry. Today, he’s helping to launch Screen Isle of Man – a vital portal showcasing the island’s film locations, talent, and crew.

Meet Vivi

A force of nature on set, with the focus and poise of a seasoned actress. She never failed to bring energy and fun to every behind-the-scenes moment, and when she’s not performing, you’ll find her lost in a good book, or racing around at athletics club.

Vivi began her journey with Stage Ed summer school performances and now trains with the Parker Snell Company. Installed marks her exciting on-camera debut – and we’re certain it won’t be her last.

Credits and Thanks

A sincere thank you to the businesses who volunteered their time including the The Barn at Ballaughton, Frank Matcham’sMagazzino, Juliette’s Cake Decorating Experience, and Stanley’s Restaurant & Café.

Small businesses like this are so important to support, they truly help make the island a better place to live.
