About
Our Story
Welcome to Bearigo International, a family deeply rooted in cinematic history since the roaring 1920s. Our narrative begins with Jack Smart, a visionary in the nascent days of British filmmaking. As the proprietor of Astral Films, Jack propelled the Smart surname into the limelight, with his endeavors spanning the Atlantic to the vibrant streets of New York City. Regular voyages aboard the iconic Queen Mary were not merely for pleasure, but for business, cementing the family's bonds with the American film industry.
​
Over the decades, the Smart legacy flourished, with the family not only bringing films to the silver screen but also owning cinemas in Yorkshire. In the 1950s and 1960s, subsequent generations namley Jack (Jnr) and Bob Smart continued to leave their mark, collaborating with esteemed companies like Fox Film UK and Columbia Pictures UK Division.
​
However, it was the spirit of entrepreneurship that truly defines the Smart family. In a bold move reflective of their pioneering nature, they joined the venture Cinerama UK, aiming to revolutionize cinema with the immersive 360-degree experience. This daring endeavor epitomized the family's unwavering commitment to pushing boundaries in the world of entertainment.
​
At Bearigo International, cinema and filmmaking are more than just a profession—they are ingrained in our DNA. Today, under the stewardship of Daniel Smart and our talented team of writers, we are honored to carry forward the rich heritage of the Smart name. Amongst the tapestry of our history, a script from the 1920s sits as a testament to our journey. With this priceless relic in hand and a fervor for storytelling, we are dedicated to rekindling the brilliance of the Smart legacy, navigating the ever-changing currents of cinematic excellence.
