The Gasman

   'The Gasman - In The Gutter' is  the independent film the production company I am a part of (StraightSilver Pictures Ltd) is currently making.  The project is only low budget (our target is to raise approx. £10,000) but the beauty of it is that half the action is illustrated.  The film is based on a underground British comic book that has been running since 1997, and the plot is an amalgamation of a number of stories that ran in the original comic.  For more details I would recommend looking at the article on Wikipedia article found in the Links section of Pylia. 

   I am the Production Manager of the project, which basically means I organise and help out as much as I can with various departments, including Costume, Set, Props, Locations and so on.  I am also helping in drafting the script, I act as secretary at the meetings and generally remind people when they have to be at what meeting when.

   The director (Dan Quirk) has already made a short film of 'The Gasman' for his final university project, which covered the 'Game of Dominoes' story that is being integrated into the feature length film.  In this project I portrayed the character of Rose Thorn, and am going to resume the role for 'In The Gutter,' though the part is much smaller, something I am quite relieved about. 

   The film is scheduled for completion by late 2006/early 2007.  The four members of StraightSilver and others from the cast and crew will then work on entering the project into festivals and hopefully selling the distribution rights.
