We're kicking the back doors in of the film industry
Pie 'n' Mash Films use new digital technology to its full
advantage so as to steam roll low cost but highly entertaining
performance driven films into the industry
We believe that high budget films are massive financial risks to
investors i.e. a £20,000,000 budget means the film has to recoup that
just to break even. Big names can earn big money, but that doesn't mean
their films will!
At Pie 'n' Mash we believe new talent is hungry talent. As Bill Maloney
puts it
"Mike Tyson would not have ended up on his arse against Lennox Lewis if
it was Mike Tyson's first fight; it's all about hunger".
That is just one reason why Maloney refuses to use casting directors,
he says
"How does someone else know what I'm looking for, or where to find
them? Can they recognise passion, hunger, too much drama school
emotion? No thanks, I'll do my own shopping"
We are building a team of talent that is just getting stronger and
stronger; from the production team to the cast and crew.
The future of Pie 'n' Mash Films has begun on solid foundations
and is guided by the right stuff. Maloney gives a magical sense of
realism to black comedic social dramas. There are many eyes focused on
his progress i.e. Ray Winstone, Kathy Burke, Tom Charity (Time Out),
Gareth Evans (Sight & Sound), Jamie Foreman and many more names
respected from within the industry.
Maloney's reputation as a strict disciplinarian on set, has started to
precede him and he is continuously badgered for his opinions on the new
way forward with his polished dogma style of shooting.
His authenticity can be seen in his gritty films: LUNATIC, THE BLUNDERERS, BILLY & LILLY GO TO NEW YORK the harrowing SUN SEA & SATAN, AND COMING SOON: ADAM RICKWOOD & THE MEDOMSLEY HEROES and G20 RAW!
There are few edits in Maloney's scenes, they run as life does,
the viewer becomes part of the scene. This method is very demanding
upon the performers. None of the actors, used to date, were trained at
drama school. What you see is the product of this very unusual and
unorthodox writer/director/actor who is strongly predicted from within
the industry to embark on a roller-coaster road to success.
"COME ON THEN!" ...
