Fact Not Fiction Films is a UK-based independent film and documentary production company founded in 2006 by filmmaker and former airline captain Tristan Loraine. The company produces documentaries, feature films and short films, frequently focusing on public interest subjects including aviation safety, health, and mental health awareness.[1][2]
Fact Not Fiction Films was established in late 2006 following Loraine’s retirement from aviation. The company’s first major project was the investigative documentary Welcome Aboard Toxic Airlines, a 93-minute film examining claims that aircraft cabin air could expose passengers and crew to hazardous chemicals. The film later had a UK DVD release and cinema screenings.[1]
Early development projects announced by the company included the feature adaptation Shadows From The Sky (based on Loraine’s novel Toxic Airlines), the documentary Flying Sheilas about Australian female pilots, and the political thriller 31 North 62 East.[1]
Feature film production
In 2008, Fact Not Fiction Films produced the independently financed political thriller 31 North 62 East, filmed in the UK and Jordan with a reported $2 million budget. The film was produced and directed by Loraine, with cinematography by Sue Gibson, and featured a cast including John Rhys-Davies, Marina Sirtis, Heather Peace and Craig Fairbrass.[3]
The company later produced aviation-themed feature and docudrama work including Shady Lady and A Dark Reflection.
