PeterPix to screen 'Gobsmacked!' at MIFED
PeterPix Productions' comedy road movie, 'Gobsmacked!', is to be screened at MIFED in Milan on Sunday November 3 at 15.30 in Gasparotto 2, 2nd Floor, pavilion 10.
The project has been a bit of a long haul, with much refining of both picture and soundtrack in response to numerous test screenings.
PeterPix chief, Peter Tong, said: "Now it is time to let go, sell it, and get on with the next. It has been a great experience, with wonderful support from Soho and Manchester post-houses, and current reaction to the final edit has been excellent."
PeterPix are in development with two follow-ups. Although totally different to the quirky 'Gobsmacked!', they will be universal comedies – 'The Ghostly Crematorium' and the period slapstick, 'Mrs H of Baker Street'.
