Helen, Chris and I have been talking about making a football related film for years now.. So what better chance to make one, then for our major project! This will be our biggest one yet, therefore we have made a description of the idea so we can get potential backers and interest:
What is Sunday League?
Football. It's the most popular sport in
the world. Played and watched by over 3 billion people and while Ronaldo, Messi
and Co get all the fame and glory playing at the best stadiums with the best
match officials, your local team is probably playing on a pitch with a dog turd
or two, an overweight referee and someone's dad as the linesman. Welcome to the
world of SUNDAY LEAGUE.
The series follows the fictional Grove
Green FC - the laughing stock of Kent's 2nd Division and struggling for a team.
The captain's a lady's man, The centre back's a red card magnet and their
striker has never scored a goal. After the recent mass exodus of players and
their manager to a rival team, we join the lad's determined to turn their luck
around.
The show centres around 4 main characters:
Dean - The Captain. A talented footballer
with an eye for a lady. Or 2. Or 3. He's a man on a mission to get the team
back to their winning ways. Starting with a search for a manager.
Tom - Dean's Best friend. A tough tackling
centre back with a temper that often get's him sent for an early shower.
Allegedly, he's found himself a Solid 10 girlfriend - although no one has ever
met her...
Nath - The Goalkeeper. A level headed,
History student with a secret. Shy and lacking confidence until he hits the
pitch where he takes balls to the face like a champion.
Ollie - The joker. Every team has an Ollie.
The person you stick up front out of the way to minimise the damage caused when
they are near their own goal. Hopeless with women but the life and soul of any
party.
This is a series we believe has buckets of
potential and legs. Lovely, lovely legs! I mean they are slightly hairy but
what can you do. It's something we are incredibly passionate about. And YOU
could help make this small project grow into something massive! We hope to push
this project upon completion into pilot film festivals.
The pilot episode is to be filmed in
February 2016 but are writing a full 6 episode series.
What makes this Unique?
We are telling a story that anyone who's
encountered non league football - Women or Men will relate to.
And.. It's written by a female - How many
male led sitcom's can say that?
