Joe Lynch - Director 'Wrong Turn 2'

"It's refreshing to meet a fellow filmmaker who speaks the language of pure cinema, knowing that huge explosions, gratuitous nudity and snappy one-liners do not an interesting piece of work make. Russ Gomm's 'Dark Roads' reminded me of the days when Michael Mann spoke to us in sleek, sharp (and many times silent) images that resonate on many levels like 'Thief' and 'Manhunter'. Gomm and partner Adam Modley work the audience into a suspenseful lather with their tale of love, loss and quiet revenge, told with nary a nick of dialogue, which makes for a powerful viewing experience since one can only rely on the expertly framed angles that don't adhere to ADD-addled quick cuts and a lush, haunting soundscape. The talented souls at Aurora Pictures have already solidified themselves as total craftsmen in a new media world, from the grimly accomplished 'Dark Roads' to their horror shorts 'Blood Relative' and 'Presence', and I'll be watching everything they do with anticipation. One can only imagine what they can do with the parameters of a feature film."

Eduardo Sanchez - Co Director 'The Blair Witch Project'

"Relentless and talented, Russ Gomm is definitely a filmmaker to keep your eye on"

Johannes Roberts - Director 'When Evil Calls'

"Russell Gomm is a truly talented filmmaker. The dreamy menace of 'Dark Roads', with its beautiful cinematography, stand out performances and retro music has all the major hallmarks of being directed by someone who will truly be a major force in horror cinema."

Mike Shaw - Film Critic 'The Void'

"Russell Gomm is one of the most exciting young filmmakers working in the country today. Unlike his peers he has forsworn the cheap and easy 'anyone can do it' approach to filmmaking and tackles his projects like the auters of old. His short films feel like features just waiting to happen, and although his favoured genre is horror, he leaves the tomato sauce well alone and focuses on tension, character and suspense - immersing himself in every aspect of the worlds he's creating. It's only a matter of time before one of Russell Gomm's pictures is mesmerising audiences worldwide."

Steve Horton - Road Safety Team Leader, Kent Highway Services

"Kent County Council Road Safety has used Aurora Pictures for film and photographic services. In particular they have produced for us a campaign film to promote the safety message that texting and driving is a bad mix. The film captured the essence of how distractions on the road can kill and was developed for a specific and vulnerable audience. I am extremely happy with the quality of the finished product. The film is used on our campaign website, and has also been played to a range of audiences at various presentations we give. The film scripting and production was handled entirely by Aurora Pictures, following a brief designed by our team. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Aurora Pictures again in the future."

Matt Black - Lead Vocals/Guitar 'Everafta'

"Russ is extremely easy to work with and has great vision combined with great ideas and a hands on approach to his work. We have completed two music videos (one of which was pretty much shot and cut within 24 hours), videos of live shows, as well as many live photoshoots and group photo shoots. We still use all of his videos and pictures today, and they are by far the best we have ever had. Working with Russ has been a pleasure and something we intend to do again in the future. For Videos and Photos, Aurora Pictures is the company to contact, I would happily reccommend them to anyone."

Bradly Spicer - Film Student

"I have really enjoyed working with Russ, he's been a huge inspiration to me and many around our school 6th form. Aurora Pictures really does treat its work as a lifestyle, and do stick with it. Russ Gomm, the man behind the company, is kind, generous and to be honest one of the best people I have worked with."
