Asian Gangster film set to put Coventry on the map
Leofric Films plc is making a feature film set in Coventry. The film,
called "Bootleggers", will be made during 2006 and the film company is
looking for investors to get on board.
The film is being produced by local businessman and property
developer, Jagdip Dosanjh, who is determined to make a film about and
for British Asians, an audience who - despite the occasional "East is
East" - have mostly been starved of cinema films about themselves.
The film is about two young Asians who start a bootlegging business
and swear they will never be real criminals - but when a rival
threatens them and a ganglord demands too much, they turn against each
other and everyone else to become the only thing that lets them
survive: gangsters.
Jagdip has put in £100,000 of his own money to get the film made, but
is eager to double or triple that amount through private investment -
with a budget of that size, the production will be able to shoot on
the same High Definition cameras used in "Star Wars". Investors will
qualify for tax relief, be able to appear in the film as extras and
will also get an invite to the glitzy premiere.
Jagdip said: "There are never enough films made about British Asians -
we're aiming to make a film that's entertaining and popular, and we're
definitely intending to make money, which is something that too many
independent films forget about!
"It's a great opportunity for investors to get involved with the film
industry - appearing in the film as an extra could be a wonderful gift
for a loved one"
