Son of Rambow is a project that Hammer & Tongs (Garth Jennings and Nick Goldsmith) worked on for some years. Its development was interrupted when they were asked to make The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and is their second major feature film. 

The story is set during a long English summer in the early 80's where two boys are about to form an unlikely friendship. Will Proudfoot has been brought up in a strictly religious household, forbidden to watch TV or listen to music. But after Lee Carter, the school trouble-maker blows Will's mind with a pirate copy of Rambo: First Blood, Will is easily persuaded to act in Lee's home-made movie sequel. Armed with only a camera 'borrowed' from Lee's brother and their limitless imagination, the pair plot stunt after stunt, dodging teachers and family all the way, as they do whatever it takes to finish their masterpiece in time to enter it into the national Screen Test competition.

On Sight provided high-end HD post production equipment for this heart-warming nostalgic comedy which is currently showing in UK cinemas.
