About the pitch
Bigger and Badder
The towns top dog hunts down one of his pack who’s taken a chunk out of his profits, only to discover he’s bitten off more than he can chew.
Trevor Deacon is not the sort of boss you want to disappoint. And Pete is about to find out why. After his first job as package boy is met with disaster he finds himself on the end of his villainous employers brutal interrogation. Trevor wants the truth, but unfortunately for Pete, the truth is hard to swallow. Can he convince Trevor of what events really took place that fateful night? Or will he find out exactly how big and bad Trevor can be?
Picture our short film as a cross between ‘Brighton Rock’ meets ‘The Howling’; ergo a classic British gangster flick with a deux ex machina moment launching the action firmly into creature feature territory.
We’re a team comprised mainly of BBC staff and freelancers, who are used to shooting fast turn-around, HD drama. With this in mind, we are scheduled to shoot this short film within 2 weekends and we'll make sure all the money donated ends up onscreen.
As mentioned in our video pitch we're looking for funding to bring our film to life. Our cast and crew are working on this film pro bono so your investment will go towards materials for practical & special make-up effects as well as the usual below the line costs.
We're aiming to distribute the film to international & UK film festivals. We're also looking to hold a short film showcase in Birmingham as part of the films premiere.
Please get involved & help keep independent film production alive.
Regards,
The Bigger & Badder Team
