This film has been 25 years in the making, it seemed production was finally due to begin March of this year, everything was on track, location scouting, preliminary casting, a crew assembled in Sheffield, many softspoken discussions, then suddenly the Grizedale Arts producers vanished off the face of the earth. Nobody seems to know what happened, they simply flat out vanished, it's a complete and utter mystery.
