Our Story
My Left Hook is a painful and embarrasing comedy in the vein of Alan Partridge and The Office. My Left Hook marries this British type of comedy with a story structure more akin to American comedy features such as Dodgeball, Talladega Nights and Anchorman. Add Rocky into the mix and you’ve got one crazy ass feature film!
Michael Dobson was the youngest ever British Commonwealth boxing champion in history. His meteroic rise to glory was legendary and made him an overnight celebrity. Wishing to remain a champion forever, he quit boxing the very next day. Eight years later, Michael is overweight, washed up and cloaked in failure. Wishing to turn it all around, he takes one last shot at the big time. Too worn out to be a fighter, Michael lives the dream through a young protege, Lee ‘left hook’ Jarvis. Seducing him through a string of lies, Michael becomes his trainer, manager and promoter. Michael has a fight on his hands just to keep his promise and deliver the goods. When you’ve lost faith in yourself, what will you do to find it in others?

What We Need & What You Get
The script is complete and most of the cast and crew are in place and ready to rock. We are looking to raise as much funding as possible to cover the costs of making the film (actors expenses, camera equipment hire, art dept, catering etc). We have been raising funds through alternative sources and have been doing well, but in order to make sure we make this film to the best standard possible, we look to the nice people of indegogo to help us really lift this project off the ground!
If we do not raise all the funding by the 30th April 2012, the project may be delayed by up to 3 months while we continue our fundraising campaign. Everyone who has donated will be given the option to keep their investment in the project while we continue campaigning for more funds.
