Launched in 2004, "A Century in Stone" attracted over four-thousand people to clubs and halls across Teesside before becoming the first local film to be shown at a Teesside multiplex. In its first week, it outsold Hollywood competition to become the Xmas 2004 VHS/DVD bestseller in Teesside.
The film toured Australia in 2005, screening in various towns, and beneath the Sydney Harbour Bridge, which had been made in Teesside.[4]
