     Please kindly visit my website under the name HT Productions which is: www.htproductions.co.uk. Please note that on the website there are available excerpts of some of the songs.

Because the story has been self published in book form and has been the basis of a stage musical it is now considered desirable to make a film in the project. Previously it has always been warmly received by its audiences when it has been placed before the general public. We therefore feel it could be a successful film if it is properly, carefully and efficiently made. The design is simple and the film can be accomplished economically.  

The objective is to pursue all avenues: namely republication of the book, recording, publication, distribution of the songs, stage performances, the film, other ancillary items such as commercial advertising. Assistance would be welcome through contributors drawing on their own experience in any of their fields, which experience we could put to good use.   Please note that all Rights and Copyrights in both words and music remain in the hands of the Producer and will be available for this film.

     Our application is made for £75,000. This is obviously a small amount for the manufacture of a feature film. We need and will expect to receive favourable terms for the inevitable expenditures.

We began yesterday by holding auditions for our cast and heads of departments who reacted favourably when the economic terms were put to them. We now wish to proceed immediately with a labour of pre-production.    Also, we are arranging for some song recordings to be made in Prague.

It is only possible now to express estimates in round figures. Estimated costs:

Green screen studio with technicians - £18,000
Cast, heads of departments, photography & camera, crew - £20,000
Post-production editing - £15,000
Other hires of premises - £7,000
Administration - £5,000
Miscellaneous, other (inc. eg costumes) - £10,000

Perks:

  • Basic: £10 - one ticket for the screening 
  • Common: £20 – two tickets for the screening + one copy of the book
  • Popular: £50 - two tickets for the screening + one copy of the book + one CD of the songs
  • Valuable: £100 – two tickets for the screening + one copy of the book + one CD of the songs + one copy of the film
  • Generosity: £100 + -  four tickets for the screening + one copy of the book + one CD of the songs + one copy of the film

In all cases our aspiration if the film is profitable, would be to refund to the contributors, the amount of their contributions (what in the world of theatre angels is called recoupment).

If the funds contributed do not reach the goal either the producers will supply further funds for completion or if the project does not take place funds will be returned.

     Above all the film must be entertaining in Arts and Entertaining. This film will fit into the genre of clean, light, family entertainment. It is squeaky clean, unlike so many films produced nowadays. It is for all ages. For its entertainment values it relies very much on the talents, flesh and blood, of the singers and dancers. However alongside the entertainment values there is a deeper underlying theme for those members of the audience who like to think a bit for themselves. It is timeless and placeless having application for all cultures. It concerns a group of citizens that can be found in all societies seeking to find and question a man who knows.

The producers together with talented heads of departments and crews have produced 7 shows on the stage and made one documentary film. 

If people wish to help by passing on news of this venture such assistance would be warmly received.
