Okay, full disclosure, I worked on this movie as the art director. It still makes me smile when I see my name on the credits, not gonna lie! Haha! It seems like a lifetime ago. But, I am proud of the work I did on this, and it was a great production to work on, the cast really went for it, and the crew were great to work with (Will Beaton, son of Norman Beaton, was a particular delight!). I think the budget keeps this from being more widely regarded, Adrian Vittoria was a good director, the writer (and Bill the Butcher) was a good laugh, and it was a great experience. As I say, I think if this had a bigger budget, I think it would have a better audience appreciation, as it is, it feels like a DTV movie. But that doesn't stop this from being a really good, pretty brutal movie, with an engaging story. I think everyone put everything into this, and everyone should be proud of the finished result. I also remember being like a kid at Xmas when I got to drive one of the black cabs around London! Haha!
