Siab Studios presents ‘Mancattan.’ A feature film made in our own time and on our own terms about love, life, tea and Woody Allen. This bittersweet comedy charts the ups, downs and neuroses of two Mancunians searching for their place in the greater scheme of things. Finding themselves lost in New York, will they come to realise where their hearts and priorities truly lie?
Shot entirely on location in Manchester UK and New York USA, ‘Mancattan’ is testament to the talent and audacity of a group of people working in their own time, who refused to accept the impossibility of writing, directing and editing their own feature film.
The film has finished post-production and is due to be premiered and released in 2009. This film was known during production under the working title of 'Untitled Woody Allen Project.' The first trailer under this name was available for a short time on You Tube for easier and faster viewing, but it has now been replaced with the official trailer here on Youtube and also on our trailers page.
'Mancattan' is written, shot and directed by Phil Drinkwater and Colin Warhurst. The film stars the two directors playing characters loosely based on themselves and as such, their characters are eponymous. Professional actress Hazel Earle stars as the female lead, Rachel. Sasha Kasthuriarachchi and Vincent Heselwood round up the main cast. Antony O'Hanlon and Dominique Binieda were the
technical crew on location in New York, whilst Antony also was head of
technical operations in Manchester working alongside Will Robinson, Ian Larsen and Nick Drinkwater. This page and the
dedicated 'Mancattan' website are currently under construction and new content will constantly be added as the film nears its early 2008 completion date.
