Back to the big pitch

Til Jihad do us Part

Meena is a successful young woman whose love life is a series of constant disappointments and lying boyfriends. She’s ready to give up on men altogether when she meets Indian chef Sarwar. Immediately smitten she surprises herself by agreeing to an arranged marriage. But she has no idea that Sarwar is a top Indian spy on the run from the 42nd most dangerous terrorist group in the world – and that they've just found him.

The competition's over and "Different Shades of Graham" deserved every bit of glory they got.  Not only because they had the greatest pitch ever, that was almost choreographic in nature, but also because they're some of the coolest dudes ever.

Anyhow, thought I'd write a last post to say a huge thanks for all of the support that you all gave and the extra mile you went in the last few days, and also to Moxiemakers, without whom I never would have got to meet such amazing influential producers, directors, writers, casting directors etc. And finally to the TJDUP producers, Elisabeth Pinto and Bex Hopkins, without whom this script would still be a bundling mess of gags and no story.  A lot of credit due to Lorrianne Hall (Head of Development) for this too.  Kill those babies!  This scheme has taught me so much about the process, properly got the word of TJDUP around the country, and most importantly proved to me that there should be no fear in thinking the impossible.  If you want the director of "The Inbetweeners" to direct your film, all you have to do is ask.  

Definitely got a taste for all this blogging, so will keep you updated on the progress with a new blog at Til Jihad Do Us Part, as soon as I've recovered from yesterday night... actually, the whole of last month's sleep deprivation.

Best to leave you on departure on the same way we arrived - with a video.  So here is the trailer for the film we were meant to show at the end of the pitch, but couldn't, due to my complete technical inability to save files in the correct format.  Would it have swayed the vote?  No chance - the Grahams were unbelievable.
