So closer to 60 than i am 50 and I need you help to fund a short film staring a classic mini, the basic script idea is along the lines of the Persuaders episodes and The Saint , and maybe a bit of Bash brannigan thrown in for good measure, a short film with lots of shots of a classic mini tearing along country lanes chasing the bad guys, and visa versa all within the speed limit of course, so not to upset the boys and girls in blue.
The mighty mini Sixty five years ago, on 26 August 1959 came into existence and i thought why not a fun film to celebrate all that is great about the British isles from the Highlands of Scotland to the Giants causeway of Northern island, and Betws-y-Coed to the moors of Exmoor. still working on the outline of the plot but here is a taster that I'm pleased with.
The Heiress and The Chase
EXT.LOCKWOOD MANSION-DAY
The sprawling estate looms under a grey sky. Jack pulls up in his classic mini cooper, a sleek blue with white racing stripes. He steps out, scanning the surroundings.
JACK (V.O)
The Lockwood family, Old money, Secrets as deep as their pockets. but something smelled wrong, and it wasn't the perfume of privilege.
So if you can help me in reaching my goal many thanks from me.
