Walking with Elephants is about the last great herds of elephants in Africa.
With a population of barely 350,000 Savanah elephants left, the biggest of the planet’s land animals face extinction within our lifetime. Half of these elephants during the dry season are densely populated in northern Botswana as they are protected by the government there. However, across the border into Namibia, Angola, Zambia and Zimbabwe – where many of the elephants return in the wet season, their future is fraught. In Kenya and Tanzania and South Africa, nearly all of the surviving elephants are enclosed in game reserves and no longer roam the wilderness that once saw them travel up to one hundred miles a day.
Walking with Elephants is first and foremost about elephants. While these fast disappearing magnificent and intelligent beasts live out their lives, they are being squeezed by humans into ever smaller patterns of behavior. While poaching is highlighted as a major factor in the decline in elephant numbers, it is in fact farming, and in particular cattle farming, that is robbing elephants of the habitat they foraged for themselves and the animals that depended on the grasslands they created.

T
he only way to survive in
Hollywood is to toughen
up. At least that’s the
advice Kevin Smith, aka Silent
Bob, passes on to his best friend
Jason ‘Jay’ Mewes. Only Smith
didn’t expect his advice to turn
Jay into a psychopathic killer.
No longer content being known
as Jay, the vocal half of the
Jay and Silent Bob stoner duo,
and Smith’s sidekick, Jay takes
matters into his own hands.
He hatches a plan to dethrone
Smith, take over his universe
and emerge from Silent Bob’s
shadow. And it’s a plan that may
or may not involve the murder
of Danny Trejo…
Can Jay pull it off or is it all just
the fantastical ‘mewesings’ of an
insane ex-drug addict?
Synopsis
6. 6 MADNESS IN THE METHOD
O
ne of Hollywood’s worst
kept secrets is that
movie-making isn’t all
glitz and glamour. There are
many, of course, who choose to
ignore the dark underbelly of
show business, but few would
deny that it exists.
Here we have an opportunity
not only to shine a light on just
how dark things can get when
the cameras stop rolling, but to
have some fun in the process.
There’s no shortage of
desperation orbiting the
entertainment business.
To outsiders, it can seem as
though it’s surrounded by an
impregnable metal fence. People
are willing to go to remarkable
and frankly dangerous lengths
to gain admittance to the
enchanted kingdom inside.
Nowadays, there are many roads
to fame. But what many forget is
that the quicker your journey to
fame, the faster your trip back
to anonymity is likely to be. So
how do you remain relevant?
How do you stay on top? What
are you willing to do to continue
to live your dream?
We’ve all fantasised about
being famous for five minutes.
Madness in the Method will
show you exactly what it’s like.
We’ll transport you behind the
wall of fame. You’ll taste and
feel Hollywood. Meet actors
playing stars, and stars playing
themselves. You’ll be, in short,
an insider.
Yes, you’ll experience glitz
‘n’ glamour. But you’ll also
witness pressure, judgment and
heartbreak. You’ll watch a man
descend into madness as the
world around him spirals out of
his control. But this is real life,
not Hollywood. And that means
you may not get the ending
you expect.
Of course, if you’re a fan of
Jay and Silent Bob, then this is
already a dream come true.
Who’d have dared hope that Jay
and Silent Bob would be reunited
on screen, playing themselves?
It’s every fan’s fantasy — and it’s
about to become a reality.
But Madness in the Method isn’t
just for hardcore fans. Our job is
toensurethatitalsoworksforthe
casual viewer who simply wants
to watch a great Hollywood set
comedy thriller.
We’ll shoot Madness in the
Method in a documentary style,
which will allow us to peek
into the intricate lives of our
protagonists without losing
cinematic sweep and elegance.
And we’ll be sure to retain an
expensive, big-budget feel
throughout the project.
Madness in the Method has
the vision, originality and
commercial appeal to make a
worldwide splash. We embrace
the challenge of bringing it
to life.

The Team
N
ew Jersey-born Jason
Mewes’ rise to global
fame began with a small
black-and-white movie called
Clerks, in which he played Jay to
long-time friend Kevin Smith’s
Silent Bob. Made in 1994, Clerks
joined the likes of Pulp Fiction,
Leon and The Shawshank
Redemption in paving the way
to Hollywood’s indie boom and
a new era in filmmaking.
Jay — the mouthy half of the
mischievous marijuana dealers
Jay and Silent Bob — was so
popular that he went on to star
in a string of Kevin Smith movies,
including cult hit Mallrats and the
acclaimed Chasing Amy, both
starring Ben Affleck. Jason also
put in an appearance in Dogma,
whose all-star cast included
Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Alan
Rickman, Salma Hayek and
Chris Rock.
Jay and Silent Bob then starred
in their own comedy movie,
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back,
alongside Will Ferrell, Mark
Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Ben Affleck,
Matt Damon, Jon Stewart and
Jason Lee. The pair even found
the time to shoot a hilarious
cameo in Scream 3.
Jason has subsequently
appeared in numerous movies
and TV shows across a range of
genres, demonstrating not only
his versatility as an actor but also
his star power. In 2006, he re-
united with Smith in
the much anticipated
sequel to Clerks,
which was a
critical, creative
and commercial
success, famously
receiving a
six- minute standing
ovation when it
premiered at the
2006 Cannes Film
Festival. Clerks II was
followed by romantic
sex comedy Zach and
Miri Make A Porno
alongside Seth Rogen
and Elizabeth Banks.
Jason moved into producing in
2013 with the animated feature
film Jay and Silent Bob’s Super
Groovy Cartoon Movie. He has
recently helped develop a Jay
and Silent Bob video game,
Chronic Blunt Punch.
Jason is also one of the most
popular podcasters in the world.
He frequently tours the world
with his podcast, Jay and Silent
Bob Get Old, which focuses on
Jays’’ addictions and sexual
exploits, and boasts downloads
in the millions. He also has nearly
400,000 followers on Twitter.
Given his global popularity
and profile, Jasons’ directional
debut is already generating
excitement among his fans
and interest from the global
entertainment industry.

Weston made the Spanish-
language thriller Die Again (aka
Wake Up and Die).
In 2013, Weston partnered with
Rio Negro to exec produce
the remake of Elsa & Fred with
Oscar-winning producer Ed

D
ominic Burns’ feature-film
debut Cut (2010), starring
Zach Galligan (Gremlins
1 and 2), was the world’s first
horror movie to be shot in a
single continuous take — a feat
that many in the business had
insisted was impossible. Burns’
2011 follow-up, Jack Falls, which
featured an all-star British cast,
was picked up by Lionsgate and
distributed around the world.
Richard E Grant (Withnail and I)
joined yet another strong British
cast for his next outing, How
To Stop Being a Loser, which
was Burns’ first theatrically
distributed movie in the UK.
Since then, Burns has directed
and produced a further five
movies, all of which have been
distributed theatrically across
the world. With his trailers
receiving millions of hits online,
Burns’ films are available on
Netflix, Blu-ray, DVD, iTunes and
VOD, and have aired on TV in
numerous territories.
In 2012, Burns directed the horror
film Airborne, for which he took
the Best Director honours at
that year’s British Independent
Film Festival. Airborne also
starred Mark Hamill — aka
Luke Skywalker — who was
nominated for BIFA’s Best
Supporting Actor, and Kimberly
Jaraj, who won Best Supporting
Actress. Burns’ directorial
credits also include A-list
talent such as Jean Claude Van
Damme, Julian Glover, Sheridan

Kemp, Dexter Fletcher, Adam
Deacon, Julian Ovenden, Jason
Flemyng, Martin Compston, Matt
Willis, Gemma Atkinson, Olivia
Hallinan, Edmund Kingsley, Alan
Ford, Sean Pertwee — and a
live tiger!
Burns’ relationship with Jason
Mewes dates back to 2014,
when he produced zombie
apocalypse Devil’s Tower, the
feature debut for writer Adam
Marsh and director Owen Tooth.
His latest film, Allies, is a World
War two set action thriller,
distributed by eOne in the UK
and US. Starring Julian Ovenden
as a US captain dropped behind
enemy lines in France, Allies is,
by Burns’ own admission, his
best work so far and signals his
intention to “set the bar higher”
— creatively and commercially
moving forward.

JasonMewes
J
ason Mewes was working
towards a career in roofing
when he made his film debut
as Jay in his friend Kevin Smith’s
1994 film Clerks. The movie
was a huge success — so much
so that Jason Mewes has been
closely identified with Jay ever
since. He reprised the character
in Mallrats (1995), Chasing Amy
(1997), Dogma (1999), Jay and
Silent Bob Strike Back (2001)
and Clerks II (2006), and is now
set star as Jay in the upcoming
sequels Mallrats II (2016) and
Clerks III (TBA).
Jason also supplied Jay’s voice
in Clerks: The Animated Series.
Jason also put in an appearance,
alongside Smith’s Silent Bob, in
the films Scream 3 and Bottoms
Up, as well as the Canadian
television series Degrassi: The
Next Generation.
In the show, the duo is seen
shooting a new film for Smith’s
View Askew Productions — Jay
and Silent Bob Go Canadian,
Eh? — at Degrassi Community
School. They appear again in
show at the premiere of Jay
and Silent Bob go Canadian,
Eh? In January 2005, Mewes,
Smith and Degrassi star Stacie
Mistysyn even made the cover
of the Canadian TV Guide.
Aside from his work as Jay, he
has demonstrated his versatility
in a range of films, TV shows,
commercials and voice-overs.
In 1998, he starred as ‘Gary
Lamb – Ground Activist’ in a
series of Nike spots directed by
Smith. From 2010 to 2012, he
was cast as ‘Jimmy the Janitor’
for 26 episodes of the Canadian
TV series Todd and the Book
of Pure Evil. In the video game
Scarface: The World Is Yours,
he provided the voice-over for
a thief who steals some tapes
and gets injured in a fistfight
with the titular character, Tony
‘Scarface’ Montana. And in 2015,
he starred as gun dealer Eddie
Brooks in the sixth season of
iconic TV series Hawaii Five-O.
Jasons’ film credits range from
horror movie Breath of Hate, in
which he played the love interest
of a dysfunctional escort, to the
romantic sex comedy Zach and
Miri Make A Porno, in which he
appeared in the nude.
Behind the camera, Mewes is co-
executive producer on Smith’s
Hulu-exclusive series Spoilers
with Kevin Smith. In 2013, he co-
produced the animated feature
film Jay and Silent Bob’s Super
Groovy Cartoon Movie with his
wife Jordan Monsanto, which
was based on the Bluntman and
Chronic comic book that Smith
wrote as a companion piece to
the film.
Jason is also one of the world’s
most successful podcasters,
co-hosting with Smith a weekly
podcast entitled Jay & Silent Bob
Get Old, in which he discusses
his former addiction issues.

DannyTrejo
D
anny Trejo’s own story
is as remarkable as any
of the character arcs in
his movies. A child drug addict
and criminal, Trejo was in and
out of jail for 11 years. While
serving time in San Quentin,
he won the lightweight and
welterweight boxing titles and
successfully completed a 12-
step rehabilitation programme
that changed his life.
While speaking at a Cocaine
Anonymous meeting in 1985,
Trejo met a young screenwriter
who later asked to meet him
on the set of Runaway Train.
The screenwriter knew of
Trejo’s boxing skills and offered
him a job training actors for
a boxing match. Director
Andrey Konchalovskiy saw
Trejo working with Eric Roberts
and immediately offered him
a featured role as Roberts’
opponent in the film.
Trejo proceeded to claw his way
up the cast list of various movies,
securing roles in Death Wish 4
with Charles Bronson, Marked
For Death with Steven Seagal
and Femme Fatal opposite Colin
Firth. But it wasn’t until 1995 that
he got his big break in Robert
Rodriguez’s Desperado, starring
alongside Antonio Banderas
and Salma Hayek.
Heneverlookedback.Desperado
was followed by Heat starring
Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro.
In 1996, he was working again
with his soon-to-be long-time
collaborator, Rodriguez, this
time on cult hit From Dusk Til
Dawn with George Clooney. He
went on to star in two sequels,
followed in 2014 by Netflix’s
From Dusk Til Dawn TV series.
The roles came thick and fast.
He starred in Anaconda with
Ice Cube, Jon Voight and Owen
Wilson; The Replacement Killers
with Chow Yun Fat; Six Days
Seven Nights with Harrison Ford
and David Schwimmer; and the
all-star blockbuster Conair with
Nicolas Cage and John Cusack.
He worked with Rodriguez on
all four Spy Kids movies, as well
as Once Upon a Time In Mexico
with Johnny Depp, Eva Mendes
and Mickey Rourke. And that’s
all without mentioning the
remake of Halloween, Predators,
Vigilante Diaries, Anchorman:
The Legend of Ron Burgundy
and the Ridiculous Six. In fact,
Trejo currently has 314 projects
listed on his IMDB page.
In addition to movies, Trejo has
enjoyed considerable success
on the small screen. However, he
is arguably best known as the
star of his own movie franchise,
which all started with the release
of Tarantino and Rodriguez’s
movie Grindhouse. That film
featured a fake trailer for a movie
called Machete, starring Danny
Trejo as the titular character. It
was meant as a joke but Trejo’s
fans began a campaign to get
the movie made.
The result was a box-office
smash that saw Trejo star
alongside Robert De Niro,
Steven Seagal, Jessica Alba and
Lindsay Lohan. In fact, Machete
was so successful that a sequel
— Machete Kills — was soon
in the works, featuring Lady
Gaga (who reportedly got the
part after bumping into Trejo
and chatting to him about the
movie), Mel Gibson, Charlie
Sheen, Vanessa Hudgens, Cuba
Gooding Jnr, Sofia Vergara
and Amber Heard. The third
Machete movie has now
been announced.

KevinSmith
K
evin Smith can legitimately
be described as Hollywood
royalty. He’s directed
some of the most famous
talent in the business and his
films are released theatrically
around the world. He’s acted
in productions ranging from
Die Hard to Veronica Mars to
Daredevil. He has nearly three
million followers on Twitter,
runs a network of podcasts
downloaded by millions of
people across the planet and
boasts a social-network empire
with massive reach. He guests
on the biggest talk shows in the
US and around the world. He’s
written three books and many
more scripts. His live shows —
which he tours internationally
invariably sell out and are often
filmed and released on DVD. He
rubs shoulders with the biggest
names in Hollywood and his
fans include Johnny Depp, Ben
Affleck and Quentin Tarantino...
And it all started with a micro-
budget indie flick called Clerks,
acknowledged today as one of
the architects of indie cinema.
Smith emerged alongside the
likes of Quentin Tarantino,
Steven Soderbergh and Jon
Favreau in the early 1990s and
was soon being talked about as
one of the most exciting new
talents in the business. Clerks
came out of nowhere in 1994
to be a sensational hit at the
Sundance Film Festival. It was
bought by Miramax in what was
to become the start of a long
and fruitful friendship between
Smith and uber-producer
Harvey Weinstein.
Smith’s follow-up, Mallrats,
proved he was no one-hit
wonder. It was also the first of
many times that he would direct
the then virtually unknown Ben
Affleck. It also proved that the
Jay and Silent Bob duo, played
by Smith and his best friend
Jason Mewes, were here to stay.
Smith then directed the critically
acclaimed Chasing Amy — again
starring Ben Affleck — before
assembling an all-star cast that
included Matt Damon, Ben
Affleck, Alan Rickman, Jason
Mewes and Chris Rock for the
controversial hit Dogma.
A starring role in his own movie
was up next for Smith as he
helmed Jay and Silent Bob Strike
Back, featuring another all-star
cast: Will Ferrell, Jason Mewes,
Mark Hamill and Jon Stewart.
Increasing his range, Smith’s
next directional effort was the
romantic comedy Jersey Girl,
starring Ben Affleck, Jennifer
Lopez and Liv Tyler.
Returning to his roots, Smith
then starred in and directed
the hotly anticipated Clerks II,
which was loved by critics and
fans alike and famously received
a six-minute standing ovation at
its premiere at the 2006 Cannes
Film Festival.
Next up was directing Seth
Rogen, Elizabeth Banks and
Jason Mewes in the ingenious
and controversial Zach and Miri
Make A Porno, before finally
getting the chance to direct his
childhood hero, Bruce Willis, in
Cop Out.
Most recently, Smith has
directed his own daughter —
alongside Lily Rose Depp and
her father Johnny in the up-
coming horror comedy Yoga
Hosers, which we also wrote. For
the small screen, his recent work
includes directing The Flash for
US network The CW, and his
own half-hour TV comedy pilot
HollyWeed.
Smith is a massive talent by any
standard and is a huge asset to
any project to which he attaches
his name, be it as an actor,
director or writer.

att Willis and his band
Busted skyrocketed to
fame in the early 2000s
with a string of number-one
songs. Launched in August
2002, Busted made their first
appearance on the cover of
Smash Hits — the first pop band
ever to make the magazine’s
cover before releasing a single.
Busted’s debut single, What I Go
to School For, was inspired by
a teacher on whom Willis had a
crush at school. It was released
in September 2002 and stormed
the UK Singles Chart.
The follow-up — Year 3000
came out in January 2003 and
was an even bigger hit. Next up
was You Said No, which went
straight in at number one in the
charts. Their debut album would
go on to sell 1.2 million copies by
the end of that year.
The debut album’s final single,
Sleeping with the Light On, was
yet another massive hit and
cemented Busted as one of the
biggest bands on the UK music
scene. Going from strength to
strength, the boys embarked on
an arena tour of the UK.
Their second album sold over a
million copies and produced yet
more hit singles: Who’s David,
Air Hostess and Crashed the
Wedding. By the end of 2004,
their awards tally included two
Brits, and a Record of the Year.
Then, in 2005, disaster struck.
The band broke up at the peak of
their fame, leaving a generation
of Busted fans broken hearted.
But Willis’ career was far from
over. He went on to win reality
TV show I’m a Celebrity… Get
Me Out of Here!; he toured and
released a successful solo album;
and he acted in numerous stage
and television productions,
including the re-make of ITV’s
hit Eighties comedy drama Birds
of a Feather in 2014. The same
year also saw him land a part in
Dominic Burns’ Second World
War movie Allies, in which
he delivered a breath-taking
performance as Private Billy
Munns. Allies proved that Willis’
acting abilities were every bit
as strong as his musical talent
and he was soon in demand for
film roles.
Movies would have to wait,
however, as Willis and fellow
Busted co-founder James
Bourne decided to join forces
with prolific band McFly to form
mega-pop ensemble McBusted.
What was expected to be a
small tour suddenly turned into
a phenomenon and the newly
formed band embarked on a
huge arena tour in the UK. They
then went on to support One
Direction on 2015 On The Road
Again world tour.
And even bigger headlines were
made later that year when the
third member of Busted Charlie
Simpson — returned to the band
after a 12-year hiatus. A new
album and a UK arena tour soon
followed.
Busted are now set to release
their next album and promote
it around the world. But despite
the demands on his time, Willis
has agreed to join the Madness
in the Method team, lending
both his acting talent and his
star power to the film’s line-up.

StanLee
S
tanley Martin Lieber was
born on December 28,
1922, in New York City to
Romanian immigrants Celia
and Jack Lieber. With part of
his childhood spent during the
Great Depression, Lieber and his
younger brother, Larry, watched
his parents struggle to make
ends meet for the family.
Lieber, who later shortened
his name to “Lee” as a writer,
went on to be hired as an office
assistant at Timely Comics in
1939 and became an interim
editor for the company in the
early 1940s. Lee also served
domestically in the Army during
World War II, working as a writer
and illustrator.
Co-creating the Fantastic Four
In the early ‘60s, Lee was called
upon by his boss to create
a series for Marvel Comics
(Timely’s new name) that
could compete with rival DC
Comics’ hit title Justice League
of America. Citing writing
influences like Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle and Jules Verne, and
following the encouragement
of his wife Joan, Lee did
away with some of the usual
superhero conventions.
Hence, with artist and co-
creator Jack Kirby, the Fantastic
Four was born in 1961. A slew
of new Marvel characters soon
followed, including the Hulk,
Spider-Man, Doctor Strange,
Daredevil and the X-Men.
Marvel Comics became a highly
popular franchise, and Stan
Lee was promoted to editorial
director and publisher in 1972.
He later moved to the West
Coast to be involved in Marvel’s
film ventures and eventually
became chairman emeritus.
Lee was particularly known for
his dynamism with copy and for
imbuing his characters with a
sense of humanity, tackling real-

Judd Nelson is perhaps best
known for his part in the 1980’s
brat pack. With over eighty
six movies and television
appearances under his belt,
Nelson has played everything
from a rebel teen to a comedic
serial killer. While the most high
profile portion of his career took
place in the beginning, Judd
Nelson has continued to take
part in well received acting and
writing work for decades.
Before he rose to instant stardom
as tough guy John Bender
in The Breakfast Club, Judd
Nelson majored in philosophy
at the prestigious Haverford
College in Pennsylvania. Born
in Portland, Maine to attorney
Leonard Nelson and state
assemblywoman Merle Nelson,
Judd’s talent for performing was
discovered when he attended a
friend’s audition and was told
he had to audition himself, if he
wanted to stay.
The experience ignited an
interest in acting and Judd left
school to move to New York
City, where he studied acting at
the Stella Adler Conservatory.
Judd began professionally
acting in the early 1980s, landing
his first role as the street-
smart Eddie Keaton in the 1984
comedy Making the Grade.
The following year was career
changing when he starred in
three films: Fandango, The
Breakfast Club and St. Elmo’s
Fire, the latter of the two
which put him in the spotlight
and on posters in many teen
girls’ bedroom walls. After he
appeared in The Breakfast
Club, the media dubbed Judd
and several other young actors
the “Brat Pack,” including
his Breakfast Club co-stars—
Ally Sheedy, Emilio Estevez,
Anthony Michael Hall and Molly
Ringwald. Also part of the club
were Demi Moore, Rob Lowe
and Andrew McCarthy, who
starred alongside Judd in St.
Elmo’s Fire. The group spent
much time together off screen
as well.
In 1996, Judd since then has
appeared in various films and

appearances on shows like Two

ickey Gooch actor,
producer, director.
Born and raised on the
New Jersey shore. He started
studying screen writing at the
age of 18 when he knew in his
heart that the idea of storytelling
was the only future he could see
himself doing. Finding his love
of art at a young age through
oil painting and photography,
it was through these mediums
that he could express the true
artist inside.
In the last 6 months without
taking the tradition route of
an agent or manager, Mickey
has made a real mark on the
industry by producing, directing
and acting in some sought
after films.
In the ladder part of 2014 Mickey
started filming his own scripted
comedy sketches with trained
and untrained actors.
These raw budding comedy
actors where only described
in his mind as a group of Skit
Bags. Most sketches where up
loaded directly to youtube and
ran about 5 min long. With each
sketch the young film maker
made the more they improved
and the early mistakes became
few and far between. More
importantly he created a team
that he could count on.
In the summer of 2014 Skit Bags
Entertainment started their
first production of short films.
That summer they completed
4 short films on extremely tight
budgets. They even filmed their
first Comedy thriller, called
Side Swiped, a Hollywood
based murder mystery about
a producer that seduces
women into thinking they have
“the part”.
Mickey has recently wrapped
(produced/starred) in two
major projects with extremely
reputable actors. The first
Project was a passion project
that came into development as
an idea in the fall of 2013.
The title of the project is Urine
Analysis. The story of “Al” who
poorly runs a Rehab and the
collection of direct addicts that
live there.
February 2015 marked a
monumental success in his
career as he hosted the premier
event of the official Wrap Party
for his first Feature Film, The
Head Thieves starring Mickey
Gooch and Dante Basco
(Rufio,Hook).
Top distribution companies are

by the Unified Women’s
MMA Rankings as the
third best 145 lb (66 kg.) female
fighter in the world, her current
MMA record stands at 7 wins
and 1 loss.
It was after that devastating
loss, black eye and all, that a
deflated Gina met with Academy
Award winning director Steven
Soderbergh for lunch in San
Diego. He had seen her fight
earlier on CBS and dreamed of
building a film around her.
Immediately he was struck with
her presence and intriguing mix
of muscular power and eye-
catching femininity. Inspired,
he wrote the role of Mallory
Kane specifically for her
although she is nothing like the
unsmiling, structured, alpha
female character. Soderbergh
assembled an impressive cast
and all heaped praise on the
fighter and aspiring actress.
Channing Tatum, a huge
fan of Gina’s and the MMA,
immediately signed on when
he learned she was involved in
the project.
Ewan McGregor, having no clue
who Gina Carano was, studied
many of her fights on YouTube.
Initially horrified by the violence
of the sport, he with met with
her and was taken with how
quiet, gentle and thoughtful
she was out of the ring. He
recalls hurting his hand when
he accidentally punched Gina in
the head during the film’s final
climatic fight scene.
Gina, completely unaffected by
the punch and worried she had
injured the actor, immediately
popped to her feet and asked if
he was okay. Antonio Banderas
found Gina to be beautiful,
natural and real and believes
she has a career in front of
her. Michael Fassbender, who
Gina now considers a mentor,
thought her extraordinary and
was impressed with her work
ethic. Michael Douglas, who
topped out the A-list cast,
heralded Gina’s self-control.
Gina is proud to have been
a pioneer in Women’s MMA,
for kicking down barriers and
inspiring and paving the way for
the next wave of female fighters.
She recently joined the 87Eleven
Stunt team, the same team that
propelled her to star status with
their work on Indomable (2011).
With film projects like Fast &

TARGET MARKET
T
he target demographic for
Madness in the Method is
male and female aged 14
to 50. As Madness in the Method
is both a comedy and a thriller,
we believe it will appeal to fans
of both genres, as well as to fans
of the metacinema school of
filmmaking, in which actors play
fictional versions of themselves.
Recent examples of the meta-
movie phenomenon include
buddy comedy This Is The End,
magic realism hit Being John
Malkovich, cult crime drama
JCVD, and the multi-awarded
satirical comedy The Player.
Madness in the Methods’ meta
credentials include the fact
that its core actors — Jason
Mewes, Kevin Smith and Danny
Trejo — are famous the world
over and have individually
amassed huge cult followings
in both traditional and
digital media.
DISTRIBUTION AND
FESTIVAL STRATEGY
We will seek to exploit both
traditional and non-traditional
distribution platforms in all
territories worldwide, including:
• Theatrical
• Broadcast – TV / Pay TV –
On Demand / Internet (Netflix,
Amazon, Hulu etc)
• DVD
• Foreign Distribution
• Airlines / Cruise Ships / Hotels
The producer’s aim is to launch
Madness in the Method at a
high-profile film festival, such
as Toronto (TIFF) or Sundance.
With the film scheduled to go
to camera in the fourth quarter
of 2016, the timing is optimal to
achieve that.

Many of these global heavyweights are already tracking the project
and have expressed their interest in the script and talent. In addition,
many of them already have strong relationships with Madness in the

T
o reach the mass audience for Madness in the Method that we
know is out there, we will market the movie in every way, shape
and form, and at every conceivable opportunity. That process
starts now, in the lead up to production. It will intensify during the
filmmaking and post-production processes, and reach a crescendo
at release and weeks and months that follow.
The cornerstone of Madness in the Methods’ marketing strategy will
be social-media outreach, supported by grassroots marketing. Social
media is arguably the independent producer’s most valuable tool in
that it allows access to audiences around with world on a limited
marketingbudget.Weintendtoembracealltheopportunitiesoffered
by social media to support and complement the distributor P&A, and
to help build audience awareness before the film is launched in key
world markets.
Our grassroots marketing effort is likely to include the following:
• Facebook/Twitter fan pages, which will include screening details,
new trailers for the movie, festival updates, the announcement of
various production milestones, talent information, articles about
related genre films, and links to cast fan pages and press coverage.
• An exclusive Madness in the Method YouTube channel, which will
provide a portal for all related video footage, including interviews,
teasers and trailers.
Given the vast volume of traffic on Twitter and Facebook, a key
challenge for any marketer is to make their voice heard. The fan pages
are an effective way to cut through the clutter and help generate
buzz at the earliest stages of production. As the project’s momentum
builds, so the fan community
will grow. Prior to release, teaser
content from the movie will be
aired to ramp up expectation
and excitement.
We will engage with our in-front-
of-camera talent, behind-the-
scenes talent and distributors to
explore all marketing avenues.
These will include promoting
Madness in the Method on the
stars’ own fan pages, employing
apps such as Periscope to
needle-drop videos of key
moments in the production
process and using Instagram
to share behind-the-scenes
stills. The object is to keep
fans engaged and involved
in every step of the creative
process by offering them an
exclusive relationship with
the movie. We will even invite
them to join in the conversation
by sharing their own videos
and images.
Our strong online presence
will also allow us to connect
with the niche bloggers who
comment on the categories
and themes represented in the
film. This will also help create
conversations around Madness
in the Methods, its genre and
its cast.
Our aim is to create a dynamic
community for fans, along with
a one-stop-shop for exclusive
insights and information. A
bespoke Madness in the Method
database will provide access to
every announcement, release
and update, as well as making it
easy to purchase the movie by
offering direct links to the likes

Investment
R
ed Rock Entertainment works in conjunction with numerous UK
film companies to raise equity for independent film projects.
It focuses on those films that have already been completed or
are almost complete, but require a final tranche of funding to cover
the distribution costs.
Investing in films can offer generous returns. The benefits extend
far beyond the sale of box-office tickets: DVD sales, licensing to TV
broadcasters and online platforms, and merchandising revenue all
count towards a film’s profit and can continue to generate returns
for many years after its theatrical release. The chance to be part
of the magic of the movie industry is another perk of many film-
investment opportunities. In some cases, your investment entitles
you to appear in the movie as an extra, attend film premieres and
red-carpet events, and see your name appear in the credits at the
end of the film.
As well as the potential for high returns, long-term earnings and
a close encounter with show business, investing in the British film
industry can also offer tax-relief benefits. A range of incentives
is available to those who chose to invest in an SEIS or EIS film-
investment scheme.

PRIVATE SCREENINGS
Patience is a virtue — and never
more so than on a film set. Pick
your moment to approach an
actor carefully: it’s never a good
idea to disturb talent when
they are shooting a scene, or
preparing to shoot one.
So be prepared to wait for the
right moment to take a picture
or ask for an autograph. You
will probably be assigned with
a ‘runner’ from the production
company, whose job it will be to
look after you and let you know
what’s going on.
Being an investor also gives you
the opportunity to be cast as a
background actor, or extra.
This is a performer in a film or
television show who appears in
a non-speaking capacity, usually
in the background to the central
action —as an audience member,
for example, or a passer-by in
the street.
Punctuality, reliability and
the ability to take direction
are important if you want to
experience of thrill of appearing
in front of the camera.
APPEARING AS AN EXTRA
Private film screenings form part
of a film’s production and release
cycle. To show off the film to its
best advantage, special preview
screenings are routinely held in
low seat-count theatres offering
high-quality projection and
sound equipment.
These events, which are usually
accompanied by food and drink,
also feature commentary from
the film’s producers, writers
or actors. The guest list for
a private screening typically
includes VIP media personalities,
investors, and key marketing
and distribution executives.
