Here's one you don't see every day. Liverpool-born filmmaker Róisín Burns is developing her debut feature, and it's called Happy Hardcore. Set in Liverpool in 2004, the drama follows Sean, a 17-year-old soldier who deserts his post during the Iraq War and goes on the run to find his sister.
The project won the Cannes Critics' Week Next Step prize in May, and on 28th October it was named one of 17 projects picked for the Les Arcs Coproduction Village in France, running 12th to 15th December, out of a record 496 submissions. Critics' Week says the film puts music and parties front and centre, details here, but the music is still being chosen. Perhaps it'll be happy hardcore? Sounds like an interesting project, so we'll be keeping an eye on this one!
