speed. aggression. surprise.
by TOM PETCH
The origins story of the SAS is a myth.
This is the real story of how the world's preeminent Special Forces came into existence.
Speed, Aggression, Surprise is a fly-on-the-wall, character-driven story of how, from the wreckage of Dunkirk, emerged the idea of guerrilla Commando units who could inflict devastating 'mosquito stings' on larger, and better-armed opponents.
the patrol
Written and directed by former soldier, Tom Petch, 'The Patrol' provides the antidote to the war action film. A psychological drama, the film explores the relationships between a group of British soldiers as they grow disillusioned with the Afghan war.
“A former soldier's award-winning film about disillusioned troops in Afghanistan is impressive”
— Mark Kermode, Observer
“first time writer-director Tom Petch makes a powerful impression with this tough, smart war movie”
— Peter Bradshaw, Guardian
