TimeWorks Films require one hundred and forty six thousand, two hundred and sixty four pounds to fund the development of the feature film THE A-Z OF MRS P, a musical drama adapted from the stage show and intended for international theatrical cinema release.

In recent years blockbusters such as CHICAGO, DREAMGIRLS, HAIRSPRAY, INTO THE WOODS and FROZEN have put the film musical back at the centre of popular culture.

The Great British film musical is now starting to have a renaissance from the powerhouse LES MISERABLES to SUNSHINE ON LEITH and LONDON ROAD and The A-Z Of MRS P will be a welcome addition to this cannon.

The soundtrack for the stage show can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/the-stable-songs/sets/the-a-z-of-mrs-p/s-Ay7HH

DEVLOPMENT FUNDING:

The investment will cover development, writing and editing of the script and include all compositions and lyrics specifically written for the film, adapting songs from the show and writing new songs where needed.

There will be a series of workshops with performers hired to perfect the songs and screenplay and once signed off we will create a professional recording and mix of all the songs to accompany the finished script ready to raise production finance.

The value of investments can go down as well as up, so you could get back less than you invested.
