Two acclaimed bestselling authors Martin Tracey & D.G. Torrens with roots deeply embedded in the UK literary scene, have boldly stepped into the world of filmmaking, transforming their storytelling prowess into visual art. United by a fierce, shared vision to bring a truly original narrative to life, they’ve crafted a film unlike anything that’s come before.
Fuelled by pure passion and an unwavering belief in their story, the duo self-financed their project through personal funds, generous sponsors, and a groundswell of community support via crowdfunding. What unfolded was more than a film—it became a movement. The entire city of Birmingham rallied behind them, embracing their dream and lifting it into reality. Their directorial debut is not just a creative endeavour; it's a testament to grassroots resilience, artistic daring, and the electric spirit of Birmingham.
