What's it all about

Film Synopsis: Motorbike crime is a terrifying criminal activity run by fearless gangs. They mount pavements, zooming by the working public snatching their laptops, phones and well-deserved meal deals. It has been present in our cities for the last three to four years and like many successful criminal schemes they have a habit of filtering over from the city to our beautiful countryside. “Professional” moped criminal, Myth, has fallen out with his Mancunian topboys and heads out to the sticks to re-build his profile. Ending up in the small north Shropshire town of Wem he hooks up with impressionable and naive young farmer, Bri. Moped crime on the streets of Wem was a non-starter. Too noisy. Reminded residents of the Luftwaffe. So they come up with a morphed plan utilising both of their skills in the hope of taking the town by storm. Our intense, upcoming, investigative journalist, Victoria, catches wind of this and heads up to cast her over-analytical eye over proceedings. Project Description: This piece has been written by a comedy writer with a passion for subcultures harnessing a strong comedic slant. This is an investigative journalism mockumentary with an underlying interest in crime, rural sub culture and rural life. It focuses on parodying the investigative presenters out there (Reggie Yates, Livvy Haddock and Stacey Dooley perhaps?), the subcultures they investigate, and the investigative documentary process. Strong comedic inspiration is taken from People just do nothing, This Country, Alan Partridge scissored isle and Brass eye. Grand titles we are aware, but if you are a fan of these shows you should enjoy being a part of this short film.

Not sure what the hell it's about? This clip probably won't help, but it might give you an idea of the documentary parodying style we're going for. 


Then of course you can watch the whole thing.
