Three Miles to Nottingham

Director: Rob Brown
Producer: Adam J Merrifield
Writers: Ross McMilliand
Cast: tbc

3 MILES TO NOTTINGHAM is an honest, humorous trip through the minefield of being twenty-something; though the humour of this film will be self deprecating, offbeat humour rather than laugh out loud, slapstick comedy. The film will combine aspects of American Independent cinema (Garden State, Greenberg, Before Sunrise) with a thoroughly realistic British setting.
