An emergency stop might get me a whiplash injury if the person behind doesn't stop sharpish. Nice little earner.

I have just received an e mail inviting me to invest in a film!

Quote
Carnaby, named by Screen Finance magazine as one of the UK's most prolific film production companies, and the producers of the current nationwide release Rise of the Footsoldier, is pleased to present you with an investment offer. This is your chance to get involved in the British film industry.

 Our next feature film, entitled Doghouse, is the original brainchild of leading British comic and film artist and writer Dan Schaffer.

An excellent UK-based production team is already in place including the award-winning director Jake West (Evil Aliens).

Looking to build upon the success of British comedy-horror genre films such as Shaun of the Dead and Jake West's own Evil Aliens, Carnaby's Doghouse follows the fortunes of a group of men who, struggling with their own mid-life troubles, go off for a relaxing "boys' weekend" in the country.

As someone who watches a wide and varied amount of crap I haven't heard of any of the films they have on their site.

Not sure how sound an investment it is but perhaps some of us could do it for real.

It is indeed. The stuff they are producing in unoriginal and IMHO looks lacklustre. The British film industry would do far better to not attempt to make knock offs of better films that have come out of America and Japan. Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead, Kidulthood, Kinky Boots, Four Weddings etc all worked because they were original ideas that just happened to be British.
