"This is a great insight in how to
crowd fund a project."
"Filmmaking is hard enough and lonely enough anyway, without us all keeping strategies, secrets and hacks we have discovered to ourselves." Read the first instalment in Directors UK member Matt Harlock’s candid crowdfunding diary, as he sets up a Kickstarter campaign for his new supernatural horror short, "Deep Clean".

Thrilled that we are featured in @blainebrothers Ben's SP blog today:
"This is me unashamedly instructing you to put some money into Deep Clean.
Matt works tirelessly to support other filmmakers, not least through his increasingly essential organisation No Direction Home which brings filmmakers together. On every level he deserves the support of his fellow filmmakers."
Ben Blaine, SHOOTING PEOPLE BLOG
Awesome - thank you to everyone who has pledged so far, this is happening, so get ready for a monster!
Thanks to our friends at Electric Sheep Magazine for this post of the film and write up - see here www.electricsheepmagazine.co.uk
So flip me, we've been working really hard through this goddamn heatwave, and here's just SOME of the media posts we've been flipping out to the world over the last 3 days to grab your attention (and hopefully, money, ha)... enjoy. Boom!
Huge thanks to our friends at Britflicks.com and Nerdly. We spoke with 'uber-journo-about-town' Stuart Wright (@leytonrocks) about Ink, Cocks, our exciting new Kickstarter project Deep Clean, and drilled down into some of the intracacies of working with the mystery wrapped inside the enigma that is @Krentable - man, myth, monster in tight hot pants...listen below...
Really pleased that our friends at The Quietus (big up Paddy Clarke & 'CEO with the most' John Doran) are now showing the full Ink, Cocks & Rock'n'Roll film - check it out here: The Quietus Launch Ink, Cocks
We were excited to show Ink, Cocks & Rock'n'Roll at the excellent Shorts on Tap at 93 Feet East, where we saw a bunch of interesting docs and screened 'the opus' to the brave souls who braved the screening on the hottest day of the year! Sweaty fo sho!
The Avengers assembled - here's to our awesome team - the unsurpassable Katy Driscoll, Laura Kirby (Buzz Queen), Steve/Krent Able, Mike 'Horror' Chapman and Roxy "get it done' Holman...we're gonna bring this home, I swears ya!
Spoke with Jamie Clifton, VICE, about all things Ink, Krent & Deep Clean today - article link is here: VICE article "Krent Able is one of the UK's most hilarious, vicious, unsettling illustrators. He also does't exist" Jamie Clifton. Hmmm...looks like he nailed it...
"Krent – the acerbic, sharp-eared menace – is the alter-ego of Steve Martin, the London-based artist whose brilliant work we've published on VICE numerous times. In fact, our website is where director Matt Harlock – of American: The Bill Hicks Story – first came across his illustrations, sparking a relationship that would eventually lead to Ink, Cocks & Rock 'n' Roll, a documentary that we're premiering on vice.com today."
Those lovely chaps at the Quietus dropped our trailer today, and wrote some nice words too! Check them out here...http://thequietus.com/articles/22636-watch-trailer-for-new-krent-able-film-launching-22-june
Steve Martin, better known by his demonic alias Krent Able, will be launching his new film Ink, Cocks & Rock'n'Roll with tQ.
The film celebrates Martin’s morbid artwork and the alter-ego that creates it, an interesting contrast when in reality Martin is much more personable than one would expect.
Having done the tour artwork for Kendra Frost and Savages’ Ayşe Hassan, we interviewed Martin, Frost and Hassan about his artwork, music, cocks and finding the limit in provocative art. As the artist known for drawing wolf-like self-portraits and perverted Nick Caves, Martin defends “I’m not pushing myself, I’m just winding people up.”
Ink, Cocks & Rock’n’Roll will launch on tQ on June 22, you can watch a trailer above, and check back in here next week to watch the whole thing.
That thing where you meet one of your absolute film heroes, and he gives you a fortune cookie...unreal. @waltermurch created some of THE most memorable moments of my film life. He carries a coffee can full of philosophical film quotes that he gives out - mine was from Erik Satie #apocalypsenow #theconversation @krentable #deepcleanfilm #stayfrosty
You have spare cash, just sitting about. You wanna be in the film game, all that glamour and all those starlets...let us help...@krentable #deepcleanfilm
First meeting of the Deep Clean Crew @PicturehouseCentral for a brainstorm, beer and development of the key strategic component of the campaign - stupid nicknames and catch phrases. So far, 'The Wilf', 'The Buzz Queen' and "You spoiled my parteee!" are winning...@kidkirby @roxy_holman, @minicollett, @krentable happy days, bring on June 20th mofos!
Very excited to be playing the Official Competition at the excellent International Mockumentary Film Festival On Vous Ment! 2017 Festival in Lyon today, playing on Sunday, June 4 at 11 a.m. at the Cinéma Comoedia in Lyon.
Only five feature films and eight international short movies have been selected for the official competition. The jury is composed of Richard Bohringer (Le Grand Chemin) - Ian Hart (Harry Potter) - Stefania Casini (Suspiria) - Fabio Testi (L’important c’est d’aimer) - Russell Mulcahy (Razorback, Highlander). What a line up...good luck to all the filmmakers!
Totally stoked that Ink, Cocks & Rock'n'Roll was nominated for the
Jack Gold Prize for Best Direction at the Fastnet Film Festival in Schull, Ireland. We love that Krent's story has connected with the Fastnet crowd - thank you so much for the vote of confidence...big up to Helen Wells & the team - cheers guys x
Oof - so we went and shot this thing...we put some jokes in, some different shirts, Steve wanted to 'look cool' which I believe he does - and gets the best line of the whole thing, even though i did all the talking...thanks to the awesome Kyle Stevenson who shot it, and to James Heath, Stephen Follows, Chris Blaine and Richie Pengelley for the feedback...bring on the June 20th KICKSTARTER LAUNCH - boomshanka!
Great evening screening Ink Cocks with the guys from Nova, including illustrious organiser Billy Chainsaw, @jasonatomic and the legendary Graham Humphreys, designer of the iconic Evil Dead (for Palace in the 80s) and Nightmare on Elm Street posters...cowabunga!
