THE STORY
A sleepy English town is awoken by the mysterious arrival of a naked, confused stranger with no memories. As the people he meets delve deeper and deeper into the strange events of that night, they begin to unlock memories that have long been buried.
Our bedraggled lead character has a strange power, people are drawn to him, is it sinister or innocent? Either way, he needs to find answers to who he is? Why is everyone going blind? Why is he sun-burned in the middle of winter? And what’s with the clowns?
Beautiful cinematography and panoramic exuberance.
Dramatic colouring and effects
A GREAT INVESTMENT
Flipside has been in development for 3 years.
From the dark and upside down mind of Chas Burns, this concept takes you on a journey through a multitude of genre’s including Sci-fi, comedy, comic horror and adventure.
Designed with high production value and on point characterisation, this really is not to be missed. Flipside examines the basis of human relationships by turning them completely on their head. One thing is for sure, it's a binge-able ride you wont want to get off.
SERIES 1 & 2 COMPLETE
Our team of writers led by Chas have completed series one and two. We are happy to share scripts with prospective investors pending NDA’s and legal agreements.
‘Why do these damn clowns keep bothering me?’

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13298008/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_1
CREW
We have a full and talented crew already in place pending investor feedback with a superb combined experience rich in TV and film making.
LOCATIONS & DEVELOPMENT
Series 1 will be filmed in and around Stroud in the Cotswolds. It allows for great access to locations, crew and kit. Many of the locations have already been locked and we have agreed terms. Stroud is the UK HQ for extinction rebellion which forms the inspiration for the Mutiny group. It is also a large town with the locations and facilities we need, but also sits in incredibly diverse countryside which we also need, which allows for less unit movement and the ability to maximise budgets.
