Bigga Than Ben


Dark, funny, charming, fast, immoral, decadent and delightful...a fresh blast of foul air. Chadov and Barnes are the best double act buddies since Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' - Cosmo Landesman, Sunday Times.

A crime-fuelled tale of two likeable but wayward   Russian pieces of Moscow scum who arrive in London intent on bettering themselves and amassing an easy fortune. But it's not long before Spiker (Andrei Chadov) and Cobakka (Ben Barnes) realize that, legally, they aren't going to get very far. So, aided by the dodgy Artash (Ovidiu Matesan), they learn to shoplift from supermarkets, rip off banks, joyride on the tube and turn mobile phones into crack.


****Streetsmart, non-PC and very funny...makes 'Dirty Pretty Things' look like a Government advisory documentary' - Time Out.

BIGGA THAN BEN was released theatrically in the UK and Russia on 90 screens and traveled the festival circuit. It screened recently on BBC1 and made The Times Top 100 Films of 2008.

****Gruelling, ebony dark, wonderfully funny' - London Lite

***A larky, un-PC travel supplement that they don't include in the Rough Guide. This London 'aint no Narnia' - Metro

But we learned The Distribution Model the hard way - Read more in The Making of Diaries.


***'Honest, funny and provocative...enough to wind up Guardian and Daily Mail readers alike' - Total Film

So, after much consideration, we've decided to go it alone for North America - hopefully with you by our side - because there has to be a viable, sustainable alternative to the current release model for independent film - one which pays back investors and filmmakers so they can continue making films.


***'Bristling with energy and cheeky charm...this fizzy, freewheeling comedy shows Barnes to be a charismatic screen presence' - Screen International...
