June UPdate: Meeting Mr Samuel
Online preview for Rob Leggatt's brilliant short film, which is now being developed as a feature film.
This month’s UPdate brings you a full length preview of a wonderful short film that’s soon to be expanded and about to launch online. Director Rob Leggatt is looking for a producer and we can’t recommend him enough.
Overview:
After dying in a pub toilet, drunken layabout Christian Stoner wakes in a strange liminal realm with only the spirit of his stuffy, long-dead geography teacher for company. Forming an uneasy alliance, the two men escape back to reality, fused in the same body. Can they work together back on earth to repair their former human lives? Or will Christian’s access to Mr Samuel's godlike powers lead them – and possibly humankind – toward eternal destruction?
Why we love this:
We have known Rob for a while and we love the brand of warm, imaginative and visual humour he has brought to his illustrious career in music videos and commercials. Meeting Mr Samuel is a hilarious and inventive short film that showcases Rob's knack for casting and performance, with strong turns from Charlie Creed-Miles and Samuel Anderson. It's It's A Wonderful Life meets Withnail & I, with a side order of sci-fi. We shared the trailer for Meeting Mr Samuel with you last year and we can now share the full film with our subscribers ahead of its online launch. Rob is developing this short into a feature film and we can’t wait to see all the chaos Cristian and Mr Samuel get themselves into.
