Kickstart This! ALTERN-I-LIFE: The Choose Your Own Adventure Film Musical!
Montgomery's legacy shall live on... line! On-line! In a short film format.
The project is an ambitious one called Altern-i-Life, created by filmmaker Theo Davies and composer Joss Holden. And they seem to be headed in the right direction. The Kickstarter page describes the project as, "Imagine the cold feel of This is England and the absurdity of Hot Fuzz, mixed with the stylised and symmetrical world of Wez Anderson's Grand Budapest Hotel". All of this with a bevy of musical numbers, including one below specifically made to announce the project.
Of course I see a shady butcher and I cannot help but think of Mark Gatiss' Hilary Briss from The League of Gentlemen.
The campaign is off to a roaring start. The duo are raising funds for casting, production costs, studio time and web development. They have a tonne of great vacuum-sealed incentives for different levels of commitment. Watch the videos below then head on over to the Altern-i-Life Kickstarter page and consider making a donation.The story is set in a classic English town. It's a bit grubby, and a bit grey, and everyone's a little bit grumpy. From most appearances it's local and it's happy, but something's just a little - 'off'.The film revolves around seven townsfolk, and how they live out their dreams and desires in an alternative online community, Altern-i-life; a place of freedom and limitless possibility. This provides a sense of hope amongst the drab and dull monotony of rural England. It's a town within a town, where fresh starts and new identities can be born.However, we quickly discover that Altern-i-life is being shut down, due to lack of funding. In the final moments of an online apocalypse, we see how dependent our townspeople have become on their parallel identities.
