Midlands Spotlight on David Stephen Denny
David Denny is confident that the film will be made one way or another and possibly kick off a series of episodes which have already been written.
David explains, "The general feedback for the script of the feature length pilot is very encouraging and I have every confidence we will find funding from somewhere to produce it in a ways that a compliment to those who have invested time in the trailer”.
David was born in Uttoxeter but travelled widely before returning to the area in the late 1990s. Building a foundation of successful writing including gothic fantasy novels, poetry and self-help guides in the employment sectors David explains that this was one of his first screenwriting projects.
"[It’s] based on some semi-autobiographical adventures and the dramatisation of other local stories. It was originally written as a novel. I circulated it around my acting network and the feedback was very inspiring, so I took it to the next stage and produced a trailer to help promote it”.
David now plans to film in and around Uttoxeter in 2021 making the best use of local talent. "We already have local actors and crew from around the town, but we will be looking for more extras and more character parts - hopefully from the town”.
"Ideally, we would like to secure the entire project funding, but that's never easy. Alternatively, we could film with volunteer actors and crew, like we did for the trailer, and then be looking for local investors for unavoidable production costs for locations, props and sets - achieving that smaller target”.
