Production



The project is fundraised by two Coventry businessmen, Heath Jones and Dennis Timothy, via their company Koralis Pictures, for 18 months as of May 2004. The company won funding from Enterprise Investment Scheme, but no financing support from the British film establishment. In Dec 2004, they ran into funding problem locally.

Because they were born and raised in Coventry, Mr. Jones said he hoped the film would do for Coventry what The Full Monty did for Sheffield. The film was originally expected to be directed by Mark L. Lester, but later changed to Baz Taylor who had worked on Auf Wiedersehen, Pet.

Release



The film premiered in UK on Nov 13, 2007 and open to the public on Nov 16.
