CLAPPERBOARD PRESENTS…
CAR PARK directed and written by Bill McCoid
Monday 18th January 2010, 7pm at Picturehouse@FACT
As part of Clapperboard’s commitment to emerging and new talent, in partnership with The Multi Story Film Company and Picturehouse, we are supporting new local director/writer Bill McCoid, with a Liverpool screening of his first low budget feature film Car Park. Car Park was recently premiered at the Salford Film Festival and received great reviews.
Car Park is a killer docu-soap that suddenly turns into a thriller. This low budget feature starts as a fast moving, almost surreal, documentary set in a Salford car park. Legendary documentary filmmaker Randy Henry takes us inside the secret world of car parks! One day, they discover a secret so terrible, so dangerous, that they may never have to park a car again, so long as they live.
