Idiots in Time Part 1

Idiots in Time was my second collaboration with Hull based musicians / comedians / big-fat-layabouts Cracktown. It was all written by them, in their secret crime lab - the location of which is a closely guarded secret, known only to a handful of Hull's most influential drunks and street corner shout-artists.

The idea was to produce a three act film to be shown as part of their Christmas shin-dig, but be both funny enough and understandable enough for a crowd of xmas inebriates to follow the plot.

Being fans of both 80's time travel movies and gay nazis, they came up with the perfectly normal premise - What if Rupert Murdoch sent a nazi back in time to kill santa claus and therefore take control of christmas once and for all. Makes prefect sense, right? So all we had to do was to figure out how to turn their script, a handful of hung-over but willing friends cum actors and some pound shop props into a masterpiece that makes Citizen Kane look like an out-take from "You've been framed'

As usual, the answer (and rallying cry of the production) was, we'll fix it in post. Jeebus. Did I mention I was doing this for love, not money?
