The Mothertown

Had the pleasure of being present for the premier of 'The Mothertown' amongst many of the cast and crew. Not involved myself, but I've had a keen eye on its production from the initial fund-raising appeal to get it up and running.

For a tiny budget, John Williams (director, writer, actor etc etc) has produced a cracking film. Where it suffers a bit from a technical point of view, it gets back in its wit and invention. Laugh out loud moments and gore are a plenty as the story follows various groups of (for the time being) survivors as they struggle to deal with the sudden zombie outbreak in Stoke On Trent. Think of Peter Jackson's early efforts and you will be on the right track.

Look out for an utterly bananas performance from Big Brother's Pete Bennett and a memorable 'extended cameo' from television's Nick Hancock

Track it down if you can.
