At the foot of the downs
we could do an NSC fund ??

Sponsors are being sought for a football movie by a Brighton-based film maker.

Writer and director Chris Cook began filming his feature-length flick, The Penalty King, in July and it has already attracted support from companies such as Waitrose, Global Vision and JJB Sports, all in Western Road, Brighton.

However, more money is needed and a sponsorship scheme has been set up allowing people to donate £50 to fund one line of the script, £100 for two lines and £500 for a page.

In return, sponsors will receive gifts including tickets to the premier screening and a certificate.

The film's premiere will raise money for the charity Goldball, which provides sporting opportunities for visually-impaired youngsters in the Brighton and Hove area.

The film is a joint venture by Twin Track Films and Maverik Motion Pictures.

It tells the story of a man who loses his sight at 30 and is depressed at not being able to play football.

When he moves from Yorkshire to Brighton a colleague realises his lack of sight does not prevent him taking penalties.

The film is being shot around Brighton and Hove, with a cast including Nick Bartlett, of Gangs Of New York fame, Steve Sweeney, of Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels, Clare Grogan, of Gregory's Girl fame and Des McAleer, from Angela's Ashes.

For more details on sponsorship, send an email to: marcus@maverik.tv or jandupree@hotmail.com.

Clare Grogan in a film about football. Haven't we been here before...although if she looks half as good now as she did then, I won't be complaining.
