Festival Partner
Hastings Rocks Film Festival
Normal Shoes is proud to be the physical media partner of Hastings Rocks Film Festival — mastering official selection films onto a lasting Blu-ray collection, volume by volume.
A Physical Record of the Festival
Every year, Hastings Rocks brings together a room full of people who came specifically to watch the films in its programme. When the festival ends, most of those films go back to being a private link on a hard drive somewhere. We think the ones that played in that room deserve a more permanent home.
The Hastings Rocks Collection is a multi-volume Blu-ray box set drawn from each year's official selection. Films are grouped into volumes as the collection grows, mastered and packaged the same way as the rest of our work — full HD, proper menus, and a spine that belongs on a shelf.
Being included is entirely optional and free to filmmakers who submit — it doesn't replace or interfere with your festival submission, it's a separate keepsake for the films that played.
How It Works

Grouped Into a Volume
Selected films are grouped by festival edition into a numbered volume of the Hastings Rocks Collection.
Mastered & Authored
We master your film to Blu-ray spec alongside the rest of that volume's line-up — clean menus, no compression shortcuts.
Yours to Keep
You receive copies of the finished disc — something for your portfolio, distributors, press, or family.
