About #DrunksLikeUs – Written by Paul Mackie
Hi, my name’s Paul Mackie and I write a lot, a seriously saint-like girlfriend annoying amount. In last years BBC Writers room I made it down to the last 50 of over 25K entries. I was deflated and ready to give up writing altogether as I thought that was as good as I could ever get. And then I had an idea – I was writing for the wrong people – I was writing for the film production and TV companies and trying to pitch the idea to them!
I was inspired by this idea and sat down to write #DrunksLikeUs – the full script can be found here #DrunksLikeUs I shared the script on Twitter, as I have done with other scripts in the past, but this time it went a bit crazy. People loved the script and were spreading it like wildfire, my Twitter mailbox was literally bursting with people from all over the world telling me how much they loved it! I was seriously blown away by the response and knew I was on to a winner, if only I could get it made.
#DrunksLikeUs is a feature length comedy starring;
Luke Griffin, Andrew Marsden, Andrea Stefancikova and Stephen Tailby.
The #DrunksLikeUs Soundtrack
The soundtrack to #DrunksLikeUs is a rollercoaster in itself consisting of ten songs and ten instrumentals.
The instrumentals are by Hollywood session Guitarist Jeff Fiorentino and Hip Hop prodigy and film maker DeadBeat who’s first feature film is currently hitting the film festival circuit.
The ten songs are a varied soundscape with only one thing in common – They’re all awesome! The amazingly talented bands and artists involved are – GasFoodLodging, Swing Suicide, BirdMask, Elephants In Trouble, MelodyHead, Jet Horns and ohnickel.
As a bonus Jeff Fiorentino has written a track that is exclusive to the soundtrack and can’t be heard anywhere else, It’s called “Fated Weirdo” and I think the word awesome doesn’t quite do it the justice it deserves.
