FRMike Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Hi everyone, I have been popping in regularly to see what is what on this forum and I finally decided to register! I work for a production company based in Southampton and last year we made a short film about a BTL landlord. It is called Hateful People. If you want to see it here is the link - no big downloads - it is streaming. It lasts for about 25 minutes. http://www.frprods.com/hateful%20People.wmv Do you guys know anyone like this *******? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderbird900 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Mike, is the film for real or is it all a spoof? The disclaimer at the end asks more questions than give answers. Were the interviews made up or based on fact? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderbird900 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 FRMike, Admit it, the whole film is a wind up. There is no Alun Mann. Do a search on Google, absolutely nothing. Also, you say in the film that he was jailed in November 2003. Yet you did the filming in 2004. How then could you reconstuct interviews with him with any relevance or ccuracy when the bloke has turned into an alcoholic? Why waste your time and effort on such a load of nonsense?

Jason Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 It was a spoof, but very amuzing. I especially like it when Alun says he receives a lot of respect (outside court)- but you hear, what appears to be rolland rat, saying w*anker. That made me chuckle. Very entertaining tho!

FRMike Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 Yeah! It is a spoof documentary! We wanted to show how some landlords really can be - but we couldn't find a real one who would do it. So to get the message across we thought about how refreshing and enjoyable it would be to see someone like that finally get what he deserves. I enjoyed filming him going through the bins at the end and his comment about PVC double glazing in the 17th century French mansion. Thanks for watching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great antidote to tonight's C4 rubbish with Krusty Allslop. Tell us more about the film, what was the motivation behind making it ?

deano Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Am I getting it all, it plays fine up to the bit when big clive barges the Albanians house, then nothing. Is that where it finishes or is there something wrong with my streaming download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
