‘Ello ‘ello, straight in with some news!

Chris Lane Productions and Zero Facility Films require a female lead to play the role of a widowed mother in a short drama.

Directed by Mat Johns and produced by Chris Lane, ‘Radio Silence’ is a zombie film with barely any zombies in it. It is a sad profile of what an isolated person might go through at the end of the world.

Details about this casting call can be found on this Facebook Page while you can keep up-to-date on the project on Facebook and Twitter

This is the second collaboration with the non-stop, hard-working Chris Lane who had such a good time (as did we) with ‘Will Power’ we just can’t stay away from each other. Find his IMDB page HERE and follow him on Twitter @chrislaneblog

TTFN!

Always been a while, more updates coming soon hopefully it wont be spammy. Have a go at us if it is, and we’ll decide if we agree or not =P

“The competition winner voted by the audience, KISS, is a gripping drama made on a budget of £200 that concerns the seedy underbelly familiar to anyone who has ventured around certain parts of Ancoats after dark.”

Hell yes! It was a few weeks ago, so apologies for the lateness on here. Read the full article HERE, and read about all the films shown at the Cornerhouse that night.

This is only a short one, got so much the chase, write, hassle, and hustle. More updates to follow including Kabaret, Will Power, and a new project being directed by the always awesome Mat Johns.

TTFN!

A trip to the theatre…

‘Deuces are wild — not One Eyed Jacks…’

Strawberry Jack Grundy was a wild child that grew into a ferocious man. Once the War Horse of Paradise Heights, recent events have stacked the deck firmly against the One Eyed Jack of The Ace of Spades Nightclub. He is now a fading shadow of the man he once was.

But the rescue of a girl on the mean streets of Paradise Heights thrusts Jack into a situation he has never faced befor…e, untapped feelings stir, and a frozen heart begins to melt. But One Eyed Jacks aren’t always lucky; someone wants Jack dead by Christmas. They say Christmas is a time for Angels…a time for miracles.

Well Jack may have found his Angel. Now all he needs is a miracle…
