Anybodywho'sinterested in this project or investing please contact  HYPERLINK "mailto:chrisdetton@hotmail.co.uk" chrisdetton@hotmail.co.uk My name is Chris Detton (Detton Productions Ltd)and I'mproducing a feature movie with Jane Alexandra Foster (23 Films)called Zounds which is a gritty drama set in North Wales. It all started three years ago. I was labouring for my step dad.it washardgraft in all kinds of weather. I hated this work with a passion but it was a matter of having to because I had debts to pay. My girlfriend at the time was studying to be an accountant which she now is for KMPG. She made me want to better myself so this is how it all began. I bought the Book of Luck online. I was down and out and needed a positive change because I was surrounded with successful people. My passion has always been performing so I had a goal in mind. I had a script that I'd written with a friend, which I was trying to sell. It was badly written but I liked it. I did the odd bit of TV work and I thought I could interest the directors on set. What was I thinking! I had all the drive in the world but no idea what I was doing. The first major contact I had on board was Hollywood director and actor Larry Holden (Memento, Insomnia & Batman Begins). He read my script and didn't hold back telling me that it was rubbish, but he liked the fire in me. He told me to make my own movie as that was he does. I quickly learned that this was the way for me to go - and he attached his name to any project I was going to work on. He told me to be my own hero and watch out for the vultures when the ball starts rolling. I met up with him in London where I also met his good friend Richard Brake (Batman Begins, DOOM) who also came on board. I remember thinking how brilliantly networking works - and I got good at it, thanks to The Book of Luck. Later, one of Larry's fans who worked with music artist Tricky (Massive Attack, 5th Element) introduced me to him. Cool guy, he loved the idea of the whole project and came on board. This pattern becamea snowball effect and I started to attach some well known names who I liked and got on with. Clare Goddard, the well known arts professional and Artistic Director, has mentored me from the start. She's a very intelligent lady and has helped me with meetings, admin etc. I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing now if she hadnt been by my side from the start. I'm very grateful to have her. Of course I've worked with certain people whom I've trusted and got my fingers burnt. This was hard to deal with but I've always kept my goal in mind and learned from my mistakes.After trying out several different scripts it became apparent that things just weren't working out. I needed a good solidscript, and finally met up with two talentedWelsh writers, Paul Hunt and Matthew Trow. We got on really well and I asked them to write a script where I had a big part in the movie in the role of aBoxer. They began to write 'Zounds' with me on their case big time. Sorry guys, I now know creative works takes time. I've always been a fan of the filmTwin Town starring Llyr Ifans, so Clare Goddard and I composed a letter for his Dad, who works at a local theatre. We thought it was a long shot but I said, lets do it anyway. The letter got to Llyr and we went to see him in a show called A Toy Epic, which was great. We met him afterwards and he came on board, plus he's a fan of Tricky's music which probably helped. I now needed a line-producer (somebody who does a budget plan for the film). Believe me, these are hard to come by, even more so when you haven't got much money. After weeks of searching for one it ended up withalady called Kate Dain getting in touch with us. This is what I call luck! I metup with Kate who believed in the project and she's been on board ever since. She's now also ourCo-Producer.She's worked on some brilliant projects. I went through some tough times again and certain people stabbed me in the back which really knocked my confidence. After some time I started thinking positively again, reading books and highlighting anything I thought would do me good for this project. My copy of The Book of Luck is highlighted on almost every page! At this timeI hadcertain people who I felt were working against me rather than with me so they either left or I had to let them go. This was hard to do but when you're so passionate about something and you feel you're getting held backyou have to make a decisionand then take positive action to make it right again. At a very low time for me I was thinking about quitting the whole project. I also had a gut feeling to go for the best director I could possibly find to bring that excitement back, so carrying on was my option because I wanted to make myself and my team proud. I rememberwriting down directors names, startingwith the best. The first name on the list was Oscar winner, Roger Christian. I was right to go with my gut feel as he's now attached. He is a great man and I will never forget him coming on board for as long as I live.Thank you Roger. Moving forward. I needed a producer to work with me. I wanted somebody who I felt comfortable with this time. I cold-called a few producers and got on best with a lady calledJane Alexandra Foster. At that time I was working in Wembley, not too far from her. I live in North Wales so I was very lucky to be so close at that time. We met up, had a few drinksand hit it off. She's also a fabulous writer so she'snow aCo-writer on Zounds. All my friends think I'm luckymaking a film but I believe I've created my own luck byrefusing to give in and always trying my best to have the right people around me at all times. The Book of Luck has helped me thoroughly; it's full of brilliant advice. I've had people tell me over and over again that I'll never make it. Even myown Granddad said Give it up. There's loads of 'Chris Dettons' out there trying to do the same thing. I used to let things like this bother me but now I just brush them off and keep moving forward. It's better tohave tried than never to havetried I say. I am now having one-to-one acting lessons (preparing for my role)with JohnBlight who alsoteaches Actor/Kick boxer Spencer Wilding (Wolfman, Batman Begins & Stardust). Here are a few kind words about mefrom John: "Without doubt one of the most promising talents I've worked with - he has the ability and the drive to take him to the top of this profession very quickly." I've got a great team attached and we're getting ready to go for majorfunding within the next few weeks.
