The Cost of the Crown had a screening at Wolverhampton’s Lockworks Cinema, with both Moe and I signing posters and talking about our future plans.
The screening was part of The Hive Connect (June Edition), during which two films were shown. As well as The Cost of the Crown, we also watched I’m Toby.
After the film was shown, director Moe Acharki and I answered questions, then took part in a networking session. It was tremendous to meet so many passionate filmmakers, and I love what the guys behind The Hive are doing. We heard about lots of exciting projects. Some are in post-production, others in pre-pre-pre-production. I can’t wait to see them all come to fruition.
As part of the event, a signed Cost of the Crown poster was given to a member of the audience, and we were signing copies as part of the network event. It’s a beautiful poster, and that was reflected in the interest. Thanks to everyone who bought one, or who came and chatted with us.
We managed to talk a little bit about our next project together – a feature film set against the backdrop of an historical event in Morocco. We also were asked a few times about a sequel to The Cost of the Crown, although neither of us really wants to do it. Don’t forget, I wrote a sequel to The Haunted House Hotel here.
We both really enjoyed our time with The Hive. I’d seriously recommend them to filmmakers in the West Midlands. Check out their Instagram for details of any upcoming events.
