Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHONA Kenyan film about two people stuck in a toilet has secured a deal for international release. The film, Malooned, is a romantic drama about two people from different tribes who have to resolve their prejudices when they become locked in a washroom. The deal for international release was secured after the film won two awards at the Zanzibar film festival. Producer Bob Nyanja says he was inspired by a true story about a university professor who was locked in a toilet for several hours. The film was produced for less than a third of the $2.5m deal signed with Pretty Pictures International.
This can either turn out really interesting or really really bad. . . .
ReplyDeleteHope it comes out well in the end! lol
ReplyDeleteI can understand being locked in the bathroom....but the actual toilet itself? Somebody needs to climb up and over (or under, but that's probably dirtier).
ReplyDeleteNo one wanted to write a book, never mind to make a whole film about that time when I was stuck in the loo at Battersea Park for over one and a half hours. Guess you really need to have the contacts, eh?
ReplyDeleteMaybe it was a PAY toilet, and they argue over the FUNDING for, what---TWO hours, and eventually "pool their resources"???
ReplyDeleteProduced for less than a TURD---I mean, THIRD of the deal with PPI...!
My aunt once fell down into a porta-pottie when she was a child. I hope no one ever makes a movie about that!
ReplyDeleteThis sound interesting though. I love odd Indie films!

Hi Carol,
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to make a shot film - and you;ve just given me the subject.
You can play yourself in the movie. And we'll split the profits ....
