Filming a quiet street
Shut Out The Light at the Philharmonic Hall
Dan Draper and Dennis Skinner in conversation

Shut Out The Light Films is an independent film and distribution company, founded in Liverpool in 2014 by Christie Allanson and Daniel Draper.

We enjoy working on a range of projects and specialise in documentary production. A hands-on, personal and passionate approach during all stages of production and distribution is vital to Shut Out the Light’s process of filmmaking.

We have produced and distributed four feature-length documentaries to date, Nature of the Beast, The Big Meeting, Almost Liverpool 8 and Manifesto - all of which were released theatrically in UK cinemas and received positive national reviews.

We currently have multiple projects in development, including a sixth feature documentary Iron Ladies, due for release in October this year.
