Updates From 1988 Productions

08/03/2026

We're taking The Crushing Truth OST down from streaming platforms. You can still listen to all our music and own it forever on Bandcamp where it'll remain for the foreseeable future. In other news, pre-production is almost finished on the next 1988 movie. We start filming this Thursday and aim to finish it in may, so save the date! More will be announced closer to the time. I'm both excited and panicked at the same time. It's gonna be our best yet (I hope)

We missed Black Friday (Sorry, was very busy). This time around, our music is on sale on Bandcamp (where we have control over the price). That's right, The Crushing Truth (Original Soundtrack) is 80% off! You can buy the whole thing for only £1. In addition to this, we're releasing The Hitchhiker's Radio (Original Soundtrack) exclusively on Bandcamp. Pay what you want, or even grab it for free. More goodies to follow very soon (hopefully).

The Hitchhiker’s Radio was the first collaborative effort I’d had in filmmaking, and to date the most successful 1988 Production. Its main inspiration comes down to David Lynch and his masterful filmography. Eraserhead continues to inspire me to this day. It is a genuine loss to the whole world that we’ve just witnessed, and I am in shock knowing that my hero has died. It’s hard to even conceive a world without him. Because of this, both me and Ed have decided to re-release The Hitchhiker’s Radio on YouTube as a tribute to this magnificent and once in a lifetime artist. We’ve got some important notes about the re-release to make you aware of. Back in October of 2022, I started on a long and laborious journey of remastering The Hitchhiker’s Radio in 4K. This involved a completely new colour grade, new transfers of the original videotape and a remix of the film’s audio to make dialogue much clearer and more dynamic. This was completed in September of 2023. We were saving it for the right time, and this seems like it. The film has never looked and sounded better and I’m genuinely proud of the result. It’s a far cry in quality compared to the original DVD’s quality. I encourage you to watch any of David Lynch’s works that you can get your hands on. It’s unlike anything you’ve seen before and its unlikely we’ll see anything like it again.

Welcome one, welcome all to the 1988 Productions Website. We've been pretty quiet over the past year. Quiet however, doesn't mean dead. We've been very busy on work that'll be seeing releases soon(ish). Stick around. It'll be a fun one.
