Hello everyone,

Apologies I have been very quiet for some time - work combined with a lack of any nice car has kept me off car-related forums for a little while.

Anyway, in late November I am going to be making a little short film for myself, with a bunch of professional filmmakers and I have a script that has a car as its centrepiece.

I have a car in mind, however that car may not be available so I thought I might put a "casting call" out here to see if anyone might have an alternative. I did this once before and received some most generous offers, but that project did not happen. IT has been put aside and now reborn as this one.

So, the brief is this:

I am filming on November 22nd (a Sunday). We would need a car all day, ideally from late Saturday until early Monday (or whenenever is convenient for the owner).
The location is Sudbury, Suffolk.
The car does not need to be filmed driving on the roads, we will be filming on a private industrial estate and the car will be moving about 20 yards at walking pace in one shot - 99% of the film it is just parked.

Ideally, I would like something front-engined and powerful. I wrote the film with something like an AMG mercedes in mind. I am quite open minded as to what we use, it just needs to be something PH-worthy, really.

The film is being done as a personal project, out of my own pocket, but I would make sure the owner was adequately compensated for their time. They are welcome to be as involved as they like - they can be on set all day and watch the filming or just drop off and pick up, we are flexible.

The project will be shot on 35mm film and will be going to film festivals around the world.

Anyone who has something suitable, please email me directly on James@tee2.tk

I hope to be able to save some cash over the winter and get something nice in Spring so I can join you all again for the shows, I do miss the PHEA crowd frown

Best
James

I was serious, and we had a fantastic car loaned to us by a wonderful and friendly PHer.

I do apologise to all those who offered and I wasn't able to reply to, shortly after posting my ad I received some bad news which distracted me for a while and then work took over for a bit.

Suffice it to say - watch this space!
