A young woman finds a man unconscious on the road one night. When he wakes up he has no memory. Does she Love Him or Fear Him?

I have struggled for 5 long years with this project.

I got the idea that no one would ever give me the chance to direct anything I didn’t set up myself, so I wrote something that would be cheap to make, but look and feel like a film costing a hell of a lot more. Together with Co-Producer Darren Ripley we set about putting the film together and landed Rachel McDowall (Mamma Mia! / Streetdance / Quantum of Solace) for the female lead.

We shot The Stranger in 2010 and then went into a long and seemingly endless period of no money, favours, falling outs and finally completion! I personally went through a period of 18 months during which I was housebound due to the extreme symptoms of vertigo. But I kept going, slowly, forging the film forward to completion, paying for things myself and using up every favour possible!

But now it’s done! The Film is Finished!

And now we need money to promote and sell the film – That’s where you come in! We need money for Film Festivals, Film Markets, Promo Materials and to set up and do a Limited Theatrical Release which will enable us to access online platforms like Netflix, Amazon, Lovefilm, iTunes & Sky Box Office.

If we manage to raise enough money we can take the film to the Marché Du Cannes, which is a film market attached to the Cannes Film Festival. But we would love to take the film to the European Film Festival, Tribeca in New York, The Los Angeles Film Festival (where Rachel McDowall now lives), maybe even Robert Redford’s Sundance Film Festival. The more we can raise the more we can do for the film and for our fledgling filmmakers (and maybe finally pay everybody).

As a disabled filmmaker I am itching to see this “out there” and giving me the chance to move on and make another film and forge a career in film making.
