[back to contents] Kaos to produce feature screenplay winner Legend Of New York Pizza Kaos Films has announced the winner of its first feature competition —Clones man John Paul Sheerin’s The Legend Of New York Pizza wins the 2008 British Feature Screenplay Competition. The prize is notable because it also comes with Kaos on board to produce the winning script, up to a budget of $2 million. Kaos is putting the script into development now, with Arif Hussein attached to direct. An autumn 2009 shoot is planned. Sheerin said “Having been chasing the holy grail of having a feature film produced for almost two decades, you can imagine the rollercoaster of emotions that you would ride if someone out of the blue told you that your lifelong ambition was fast on its way to becoming a reality. Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. To have your work critiqued by such luminaries of the industry is one thing - to have them endorse you to this level is almost too much to comprehend.” The jurors for Kaos include Kenneth Branagh, Michael Kuhn, Alan Parker, Stephen Woolley and Nik Powell. Everyone involved with Clones Film Festival would like to wish JP every sucess with this exciting project and sure maybe we might get the chance to premiere The Legend Of New York Pizza at CFF 2010.
