The True Story of Vincent Legrand

Getting Vincent Legrand

Kew Lin was on the plane from Sweden on his way to meet Etienne Pradier at Kings Cross. It was his only chance to pitch the film to him. Producer Lizzie was on it and his PA had told her that he had gigs filled up on the only day he was in London, and the only time to talk to him was 30 minutes during lunch. However Kew's plane had to make an emergency landing at Schiphol Airport, because there was a slight technical malfunction. While everyone was alighting the pilot opened his cockpit and the windscreen was so cracked up it looked like TV white noise.

So Kew didn't make it to the meeting. It was at this point Etienne received the script was fedexed to him, and he invited Lizzie and Kew to Wye to his office. They had a couple of drinks at the local pub, and he agreed to do the part. If there's one thing one needs to learn in Great Britain is that drinking makes everything all right and most life-changing events happen in pubs.
