The film is inspired by the mythology surrounding Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd fame, and drummer Ginger Baker. But I believe that 'Echoes' is something quite original. Here is the script: docdro.id/uVj4BI6

I'm the writer, and will be serving as director and editor. I have a cinematographer, who has worked on some big-name music videos for bands such as Years And Years; and a sound recordist/mixer, who has worked on films such as 'Rush' and 'Paddington' and 'Lady in the Van' and Paolo Sorrentino's fantastic 'Youth' (starring Michael Caine and Paul Dano).

You get to spend time with me, and I am AMAZING.

NEED A CINEMATOGRAPHER WHO ALSO CONSIDERS THEMSELVES A DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY AND CAMERA OPERATOR with own camera (in my wildest dreams, an Alexa; but FS7 or C300 or A7S MK II or something similar) and lenses, whatever else would be needed, etc.

I have also had applications in for a focus puller, so this would be something I have to decide with the new DP.

About an ageing recluse rock star giving an interview with a young music journalist, the film is inspired by the mythology surrounding Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd fame, and drummer Ginger Baker. But I believe that 'Echoes' is something quite original. Here is the script: docdro.id/uVj4BI6

Unfortunately I will not be able to pay people at this stage, as there isn't the budget, but so far people seem to like and love the script enough to do it as a "passion project". The only thing I can promise is that if the film should win any cash prizes/awards, everyone involved will receive a cut in perpetuity.

I'm aiming/hoping to shoot the first week of April if possible (most likely Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd April, although could be 9th and 10th April - following Saturday and Sunday), as that is the next time my lead actor will be available.
It will most likely be London-based, but could also potentially be somewhere between West Sussex/Surrey and London (CURRENTLY LOOKING AT A BRIGHTON LOCATION), so people with easy access to those areas are preferable but not essential.

I'm the writer, and will be serving as director and editor.

Look forward to hearing from you. Many thanks in advance.
