Greg Hall
Communion is an upcoming film from director Greg Hall and the assortment of miscreants at Broke But Making Films, which is being financed through Sponsume Crowdfunding.  The film sounds awesome; a priest, having lost his faith, sets out on a road trip as some kind of vigilante, with a female Mexican punk sidekick in tow.

Greg & Co are looking to raise £15,000 in the next few weeks with several investment packages ranging from £5 to £100.   What's more, you'll get something for your money (apart from the satisfaction of supporting what is in all likeliness is going to be a wicked movie).  Depending on how much you invest, you could be the recipient of a DVD, tickets to the premier or the opportunity to be an extra in the film.

Could Communion turn out to be a shoddy amateur monstrosity like Tales from the Quadead Zone?  Unlikely, Greg has previous form; he's already helmed a few award winning pictures.  I was impressed by his debut effort, The Plague, an energetic slice of social realism set in a London housing estate; a film that was produced on a shoestring budget of around £3,500.  Having recently watched his latest short film, Bruised, a character study of a bare knuckle boxer, it is clear he has developed his skills as a director.  It is a slicker affair but still has the unshakable bite of an angry pitbull.  I'm looking forward to seeing Communion develop as a project, and even more excited about eventually seeing the film.  In the meantime, I guess I'll have to make do with catching up with his other two feature films, Kapital and SSDD: Same Shit Different Day.
