Here's a recent film we made. Comments welcome. Enjoy Untitled: The Last Day Of The Premier League Starring Eddie Webber & Ed Kear It's the final day of The Barclay's Premier League. Manchester City & Manchester United sit atop of the table separated only by goal difference. United are away at Sunderland, whilst City host relegation threatened QPR in Manchester. Who will win? No one knows, not least Reg & Stan, two hapless employees of The Barclay's Premier League. Reg & Stan are sat in a service station, between the two cities, with the winners trophy, not knowing where to deliver it until the very last kick of the most dramatic afternoon in English football history.

That was pretty enjoyable. Interesting use of football footage!
If I hadn't read the description you posted under the video, I don't think I would have known what was going on until pretty near the end... but then I might be just thick. The film itself should contain all the information the viewer needs to make sense of the story don't you think?

To be honest, we had doubts about whether this would appeal to the non-football fan. But we did feel that the film was layered in such a way where if you didn't know much about football, you'd still get somewhat of the comedy.
From my point of view once the trophy was revealed you kinda understood what the film was about. That coupled with the name of the film, you know what you're in for. The use of footage from the final day serves not only as a reminder to those that watched it, but so that non-football fans could follow it.
From preference, I do enjoy a film that unravels rather than explaining the situation off the bat. Holding information back or omitting plot details is a good narrative device in keeping an audience interested. Shane uses this method in 'Dead Mans Shoes'.

Ha! Liked it, but I'm a footie fan. Was a bit confused-at first-by the London accents. You could have made them embittered and misserable Arsenal fans- for extra poignancy Very well put together

Ha, that was a joke... 'cockney reds'. Most United fans are in fact cockneys
