Due to the huge demand for the BSSC winning DVDs we came to the conclusion that we just cannot cope with the production needs. So we have released the 2002 BSSC winner THE HANDYMAN on youtube. Written by Wisconsin writer Tom Beach, this multi-award winning film stars the gorgeous Greta Scacchi and is directed by Simon Rumley.

The Kaos Films youtube channel is kaosfilmsuk or just click on this link The Handyman Available to view now.

We’ve removed the option to leave comments because some dunderhead gave away the ending - but feel free to let us know what you think by emailing us.

Don’t forget the Kaos Films Showreel is available to view in the Screenning Room - click on the tab above right.

Kaos Films showreel is now being screened in the Screeningroom.
