Back to the big pitch

Til Jihad do us Part

Meena is a successful young woman whose love life is a series of constant disappointments and lying boyfriends. She’s ready to give up on men altogether when she meets Indian chef Sarwar. Immediately smitten she surprises herself by agreeing to an arranged marriage. But she has no idea that Sarwar is a top Indian spy on the run from the 42nd most dangerous terrorist group in the world – and that they've just found him.

Til Death Do We Film

For those not in the know, I went back up to Yorkshire a couple of weeks ago and spent around eight hours filming a rough trailer for our favourite romcom of 2009.  The fact that this trailer even got made in such short notice, limited supplies and crew, is short of a miracle.  Nonetheless, it's sorted and in the can, ready to be showcased in all of its glory at the event on Saturday.  

Much gratitude to Conor for getting such a talented troupe of local actors together that fit the characters perfectly, and to Sean, the greatest assistant director a filmmaker could ask for.  And not forgetting a huge thanks to the amazing Randeep for having the patience to be in character all day, Atif and Waleed for their spot-on comic timing both on and off the camera, Tanveer's effortless portrayal of a hitman and Imran Greengrass for getting hold of a camera on such short notice and waivering the production his £90 fee from the police.  Oh, and Mum for her fantastic catering services and cameo.  Scorcese's Mum better watch out.
