The Leadership Styles programme continues to be a huge success for our client in Chicago, and the location also gives the AKT team an opportunity to visit the iconic Union Station during their downtime. Any fans of Kevin Costner’s ‘The Untouchables’ will instantly recognise this staircase.

In order to ensure that an AKT team knows what to expect when they arrive at a delivery venue, it has long been our policy to visit a proposed location whenever possible, just to make sure there are no surprises and so we know exactly what we will need to bring with us.

This was a tricky 3-day shoot involving a large cast, various pieces of machinery & plant, and multiple outcomes to film. Luckily the cast and crew, directed by David McCaffrey, were absolutely fantastic and everything was completed on time.

AKT ran a ground strikes programme for Maylim in a cinema venue. The delivery area was limited to the walkway between the front row and the screen, with the actors sitting at the back of the room waiting to enter.

As part of the WINS ‘Insider Mitigation’ conference in Vienna we filmed a reconstruction of Nidal Hasan’s interview from November 2009. Hasan was an American Army major and physician who killed 13 people and injured 30 others during a mass shooting at Fort Hood, Texas.

We were asked to film a series of meetings using real NHS Providers employees so that we can update the series of films we shot with them a number of years ago. As before, everyone performed beautifully and we managed to shoot all the meetings on both days without a hitch.
