What Thingy Fans say....
"5th QTR is like a hip-hop Godfrey Reggio.
Another fantastic addition to the Thingverse
from an artist who refuses to stand still.
The thing that's most exciting about Thingys,
is not knowing where the Thingy
will thingy you next."

"5th QTR doesn’t feel as attached to Hutchings'
comedy character, it feels like an attachment towards
a part of his life that he cherishes and loves.
And I couldn’t imagine a better way of doing it.
I have a new favorite Thingy!"

"5th QTR unfolds like an orchestral piece, with
movement guiding emotions, making every moment impactful.
The comedy is a standout, delivering genuine laughs without
feeling forced. It seamlessly aligns with the quirky style
of the film's world."

Q: When is 5th QTR next on the BIG screen?
A: 5th QTR plays regularly as part of Presents Inc pop-up Thingyma events.
Check out the Presents Inc Events page for listings, both past, present and future!
These are mainly in the Greater Manchester Area, but Thingys have also screened
in other areas of the UK as well as Milan, Italy.
Q: Who did the music?
A: The music on 5th QTR was made by shrinkwrap's Shaun Davies, The Gunists, SICTT,
Slaprash's Amelia Lloyd and Hutchings. The soundtrack is currently in the works
and will be available here first so keep your peepers peeped!
Q: How can I find out more about how Hutchings went about making 5th QTR?
A: Hutchings is currently working on his 5th QTR playbook which will serve as a
manual for executing scenes on productions that are low on funds and short on time.
Q: Would Presents Inc be interested in my audience reaction video or review?
A: Certainly! Please send links of videos and reviews to us via the Contact form.
We reply to every message and love to share your reactions and reviews on this site.
Q: How much of the basketball was real gameplay?
A: Hutchings and the cast strived to capture the gameplay without needing to cheat
when shots were made by cutting to close ups of the ball going through the hoop.
Every basket that is shot in 5th QTR is scored, or missed, by the cast member
who shot it. Most of the cast were experienced basketball players.
Ceejay Hanson currently plays for Cape Breton CBU team. Janet Lilley won Gold
at the Women's 45/50 Category Masters Basketball World Cup Croatia 2024.
Scarlett Lindsay was playing for Lancashire Spinner's teen squad at the time of filming.
Joe Smith also played for his university while studying his BA and even though football
is Steeve Eddy's first sport, it doesn't show.
Q: How can I book 5th QTR for my film event?
A: To enquire about screening a Thingy at your event, get in touch via the
Contact form. Presents Inc charges no fee to screen Daniel Hutchings Thingys
and we encourage Thingy Fans to do so in as many different types of venues
and situations as possible. From cinemas to pub function rooms, from arts

return is for you to share with them any audience reaction clips you record.
