DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT

By August 2009, I had been circulating my script for Leftovers for about 18 months and had worked through nine drafts with two other directors and two other producers. After several aborted production attempts, I felt the script was strong enough to fund personally.

The opportunity came up to make it as part of a two-film co-production (the other film was “Carma”) with Agitate Films (agitatefilms.co.uk) in Stratford, London, UK.

The script had a few complications that made a co-production attractive and I had been looking for a project to bring to Agitate for some time. After discussing the script with Agitate's MD Parm Singh, we pulled a budget together and started assembling the production.

I had previously worked with RED Director of Photography Dom Rippl (splittingpeas.com) and the remainder of the team was rapidly assembled through contacts and adverts.

Production support from Agitate quickly got together the cast and remaining crew in July, and we were well placed for the day of the shoot on August 22nd 2009.

The shoot day itself went smoothly and despite some sensitive stomachs to some of the more unpalatable content, everything went without a hiccup. So to speak.
