INDEXAre there any directors/producers interested in making a bonkers musical?

It’s not a musical in the classic sense (My Fair Lady etc.). This is an east London comedy/drama which is gritty, dark, fast paced and sweary.
At the same time, it is underpinned by characters who embody love, loss, yearning and loneliness. We are witnessing the ongoing chaos and turmoil following the kidnapping of Scruff the dog some five years prior: the kidnapper has finally been tracked down.
The three main characters are not ‘singing’ as such, more, they are shouting the songs from a place of diabolical pain.
This short has been written in the style of Sweeny Todd.
Many thanks to ‘Shooting People’ for recommending this script.
Would be great to have a conversation about possible developments if a producer or director is interested.
Finally, it would be ideal to have a diverse cast and crew.
Cheers!

This sounds like something I would really like to get involved with. Have you a treatment, script, synopsis I can have a read of?

Hi Anthony, I'm interested - as a director. I have quite recently (2019) directed a full scale opera as a feature film, which now has distribution - that was pretty "bonkers", I suppose you could say! We had to figure out various techniques to make it work, things that you don't need to even think about with a normal spoken film. Happy to share a screener with you. My background is in music (as a composer) and I think it's very important to have a director (and indeed editor) with musical ability, when making a musical film. tim@timbenjamin.com

Sounds interesting!
I have experience of show choreography, working with a variety of levels of ability, especially kids, and actors who do not feel confident in their dance skills. If it’s something you need please get in touch- I can send reels of my work.
Thanks!
