Overview
When four friends come together to relive their youth, old grievances and an increasingly bizarre series of events conspire to fracture their friendship for good. The lads deal with chemical spills, psychotic anarchists, and faceless corporate forces through a haze of booze and drugs as their home town is placed on lockdown and their night spirals violently out of control. A darkly comic tale of modern horrors, taking you on an absurd and claustrophobic trip that will stick in the mind.

The Company

Meadowpark Pictures was founded by three friends. A designer, director and writer. Over the course of three years we have enlisted the help of artists from a broad spectrum of backgrounds to help grow and shape our fledgling company. We value experimentation, independence and quality.

The Budget

Over the years we have used thousands of pounds of our own money and were lucky enough to receive some private donations that have got us this far through pre-production. The figure we are asking for here is what we will need to get through production and into post.

Profit Hierarchy

We need the skills of writers, producers, directors, editors, designers, musicians, technicians, artists and a multitude of other talented people that are essential in the planning and production of a film. As a result, we believe in a profit structure that does not place the weight of monetary return from the top down.

After paying the bills and returning any investment offered by funding partners, the company takes 10% net profit in order to keep running.

50% of remaining net profit goes to the crew, which is split equally.

The remaining 50% goes to the cast, who are tiered as Primary Cast, Supporting Cast, and Extras, and who receive a cut accordingly.

Cast

The film has been cast and rehearsed for over a year now. We've been lucky to have so many talented actors put so much of their time into the project. 

Phillip Toop as Dylan

Phillip completed his degree in Drama and Performance at the University of Highlands and Islands, and throughout his studies earned leading roles in a number of plays. These included, ‘One for the Road’, ‘Titus Andronicus’ and Stephen Berkoff’s adaptation of ‘Metamorphosis’.
Since graduation, Phillip has appeared in several tours of ‘Dirty Water’, a new Scottish play by John Stuart that included a 19-day run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Following nine months of teaching English in Vietnam, he is excited to work on ‘A Letter to Molly’.
Also a passionate writer, Phillip often works writing short stories and screenplays; some of which will soon be in production. 


Colin MacDougall as Chris
A Glasgow-born actor, Colin has spent the past three years working on various television and film productions. In 2013, he met a third-generation professional stunt artist, Casey Michaels, who inspired him to take up acting - something he always wanted to do.
Always looking to gain experience in the industry and establish his status as an up-and-coming Scottish actor, Colin has had roles in films like ‘Whiteblade’, ‘Flux’ and ‘Sunshine’ (a multi award-winning short).
He is currently cast in ‘Dream Finder’, ‘Kingdom: Fall of Illandrieal’ and the TV series ‘Storm Warrior’ - all due to film in 2017.

Alex McDonald as Marty

Starting acting at 25, Alex has gained experience through varied forms of production. From his beginnings in a student film about unhinged teachers, to playing a Nazi soldier in Outpost 3, an extra in River City and a streaker in sports-themed dating show ‘World Series of Dating’. His claim to fame so far is his role in a 2013 Belhaven Best advert called ‘Tae a Pint’.

Across these different modes of acting, his favourite part of the industry has been meeting all sorts of interesting people, and experimenting with his style when placed in front of the camera.


Martin Haddow as Patch

Martin Docherty as Dan and William
Graduating from the RSAMD (Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama) in 1997 with the Silver Medal, Martin has spent many years in theatre, working with groups like The Tron, The Arches, The Traverse, Gridiron, The Citizens and The Oran Mor. He also spent four years working with The People’s Theatre of Finland on a successful Finnish government project to bring Finnish theatre to the Edinburgh International Festival.

Most recently, Martin played ‘Johnny Byrne’ in Tom McGrath’s ‘The Hard Man’ at the Finborough Theatre in Earls Court, London, to critical acclaim.
