Pimping my brother's latest undertaking
A couple of years ago I stuck a couple of links up plugging the movie Chalet Girl, a Brit rom-com whose screenplay was penned by the fair hand of my brother. Despite it not being typical b3ta fodder, you guys all seemed to like the idea of a jobbing British writer doing well, and I remember him saying at the time that his blog and some other sites got quite a lot of visits through b3ta so here we go.
His next undertaking is a tad more gritty than the Snow-mantic phenomenon that was Chalet Girl, involving as it does paratroopers and land mines...
It's still early days - they're searching for investment and drumming up talent interest in the major character roles. But if you have an interest in the film business, and want to keep an eye on progress, then worth checking out the site, and following on the facebooks and liking on the twitters or whatever the cool kids do these days.
ADDENDUM If any of you are seriously moneyed up and want to invest in the project, by all means feel free.

He's done a number of face to face interviews with the (surviving) people involved.
Seriously intense stuff...

How does a leopard use a parachute?
Is it static line only or do they have a rip cord with a lump of meat on the end?
I guess being cats they don't have to worry about landing on their feet.

I Call Bullshit
I don't care how 'macho' or 'hard' you guy is - there's no way he wrote a phd thesis on the back of a leorpard.
