Interested in film at the lower end of the budget scale end, competitive element being a production submit’s a proposal for a film script then a short list is drawn up, then the successful bid at the shortlist, then spend 3 days with mentors and professionals

 professionals to refine there ideas and develop there skills and presentation is made , each short listed team is listed, winner is chosen the production teem (between they eyes) was awarded 500 grand and was to fund another 500 grand from private companies
but with shifty they got the money and was shown in over 50 cinemans and only was made under 20 days and recieved good reviews

shifty



the poster promoting the fim heralds this as a 100% action packed film filled with violent drug use throughout. I think it is a good film but it needed a better ending, middle and beginning.
Shifty is British film from the Microwave Sheme where the eponymous anti-hero has been doing shifty dealing for a while but trouble starts when his mate Chris turned up to reconnect and to party. After an absence of 4 years he witesses the deals to London’s under classes,
(Chris disappeared to Manchester following gearing up a women who died because she was melted onto a radiator. Then there was the guy who dropped drink onto Chris’s stash losing him money)
They spend the next 24 hours together, with Chris watching Shifty as he deals to a variety of increasingly desperate customers from the community. When Shifty gets kicked out of his own house because his brother discovers the latest stash. While this is happening some gang for no particular reason turn up along with people who start messing with the coke and shifty uses his ability to escape to Manchester and the rest of the people get beaten up



at typical situation in the film

but this film did get some good reviews saying that it was a good british film and a decent acting along with situation people could relate to make a genrable decent film as it say on the poster

i think its a good film but the ended needed a clearer ending and overall the characters in the film could be enhanced better and more jokes and less of random sidetracking in the film
