Filmed in my home town...


It's pretty weird watching it, because just about every scene I recognise lol. The public toilets in the park aren't actually toilets in real life though, it's just a storage shed...

Yeah that's right, the building is physically there in the park but the interior was a set that we shot on in London.

I live in Basingstoke too, and was very surprised to hear of a film being shot here. I'm about to watch it tonight as it is on the FilmFour channel at 12:50am tonight. I myself have just finished at the Vyne School, which has been my secondary school for the past 5 years. Some of my teachers seem to remember the film and one teacher told me she had been watching the filming sometimes.

I wonder why the film is so scarce to find in the UK? I cannot find a DVD anywhere, and at the moment it looks like my best bet is to buy the German release.
