The Maimed

THE MAIMED


Genre: CRIME

WRITER: Gavin Whitfield of Liverpool

DIRECTOR: Laurence Easeman of Liverpool

PRODUCER: John Lentaigne of London

An unflinching, at times lyrical, psychological drama
about interlocking destinies, obsession and ultimately tragic revenge set in the underworld of contemporary Liverpool.

WRITER GAVIN WHITFIELD has a valuable background in journalism, working as an Investigative Reporter at the Sunday Mirror for five years and working with Donal McIntyre for the acclaimed Underworld documentary series.

Gavin has written a series of plays, and has been commissioned throughout his career to write a number of first draft scripts. Two of his original scripts have been made into short films – Paraffin (directed by Laurence Easeman), and The Last Regal King Size. “Many of my stories are based in Liverpool and deal with the darker interiors of the city,” explains Gavin.

IN 2002, DIRECTOR LAURENCE EASEMAN began his career with The Coral, directing promos for their two biggest hits – Goodbye and Dreaming of You. He followed this with promos for well known bands The Delays, The Polyphonic Spree, and Dead 60s. Laurence has developed his craft through work as a Director/Producer for TV pilot The Porthole Murders, and in the last two years has ventured into short film direction with Paraffin.

RUNNING HIS OWN PRODUCTION COMPANY, JOHN LENTAIGNE already has a business-savvy head on his shoulders. He graduated from a career working as an Underwriter at Lloyd’s of London to follow his dream. John decided to apply his business and legal knowledge to the film industry and set up Cottonopolis Films in 2002. His low budget film, EMR, won Best UK Feature at Raindance 2004, and he has also produced a major documentary for Lucasfilm. The company specializes in documentaries, short and feature films, and music videos.
