The Last Coffee Shop In Paris

I designed these posters in January in a way to generate funding for the project that will become my first feature film. You can still buy prints on my website here. All money from sales goes toward the budget for production.

Right enough about the sales pitch as I want to talk about where the project is sitting at now.

I am about to under go the 6th draft of the script adapted from a short story by Kevin Gillespie about a man’s search for his long lost love in a foreign country. The structure for the film has evolved into something completely different since the project was first started but it is now working on a level that could mean we have something pretty special here.

Shaun and Caroline have been ever present in its development as per usual in their roles as collaborators and Factotum producers but I also have the pleasure of working with No More Shall We Part producer Duncan Leishman in putting all the building blocks in place.

We still have no funding for this film that will be shot mostly (Guerilla style) in Paris but we are exploring some options and potential investors.

The project is also in conjunction with Katerwaul’s record label Brave Or Invincible where all the songs used in the soundtrack will all be from acts on or associated with the label. This gives us the exciting prospect of having a soundtrack release that helps the film and Factotum as a company but also a film that helps sell the label too.

Finally I can confirm that poetry-smith Kevin Gilday has lent his talent by writing a poem for one of the film’s pivotal scenes.

That’s all for now but I’ll keep you updated as we progress.

To find out how you can help with this project just drop me a line on tim@factotumfilms.co.uk or help finance the adventure by purchasing a poster or a copy of An Artificial Light on my site.

Thanks for reading.
