If we wan't the scene to carry on we need exposure , I know it was an underground but hey why can't others now enjoy it .

We  can then stand there and talk to them and say " they did'nt do that or this in our day"

 

Cheers

[Back Street Blue]

Well that bit looks good to me

[MrsWoodsrules]

Can't wait to see it now, reckon I'll be cutting room floor with my dance moves.

Wonder if its appeal will transcend our sad and ageing community at the box office.

I'd like to think that it might inspire more young people to get involved. 

[Staceys Dad]

doesnt look to bad from the clip....but will find out more when it hits the big screen...... but can it be any worse than soul boy

[Mark R]

That looks great......look forward to seeing that!

Cheers,

Mark R

[Seano]

Looks really good, and if the quality of the edit of the trailer is a mark then bring it on.

[Haydn]

This is "the one"

;)

[Guest Byrney]

Looks cracking, my 'non scene' Mrs says she wants to go out now after watching it.

A good sign I'd say. Really looking forward to it.

[Guest Matt Male]

The trailer looks good, and I sincerely hope it is a good film and wish the makers every success. My only niggle is that it's set in the 70s again.

 

Am I the only one who would have preferred to see the northern scene from a different era, maybe even up to date?

I think the producers would struggle to capture correctly the exitement of chin stroking  

[Guest frenchie]

Looking good 

Saw it last week at and was very surreal and a little weird but very good.. Looks like all the waiting will be worth it. One scene when they were at the front of the Casino was goosepimpley....and thats me being a nostalgia sceptic!!

Well done Elaine and Team.

And we could have all been in it instead of these young attractive wiper snappers.

interesting point matt, from a anthropological view now's more interesting than then, there were loads of youth tribes in the 70's, how many middle aged, youth obsessed sub culture are there nowadays?   

[coops]

it looks very well made and by a lady who's been there, i'm looking forward to seeing it but not to the hoards of beer-across-the-floor carrying 50 somethings who are gonna walk out of the cinema straight into their local soul night with a curious eye and dilute it even more:( but then that's just me.

[Val (Chunky)]

That's first time I've seen that and I think it looks great......it certainly is a teaser 

[Sunnysoul]

Is this film intended to be released  in major cinemas in the UK ,  and then in the US ?

 

Or will it all depend on initial box office sales in the UK which will then determine if it becomes a "hit" or whether it will just go straight to video after a short time and then end up being a minor "arthouse" film ?

Below is an extract from the brochure that was produced when the filmmakers were trying to attract funding.  Don't know if the strategy has altered since, but it'll be a cinema release initially.

 

"Whilst Northern Soul is a resolutely British film, it also has real potential for international appeal. This aspect will support our revenue ambitions. As a music film it is anticipated that it should be released at least in the UK, Japan, Australia, Spain, Italy, Scandinavia, Germany and the USA. All have very healthy and growing Northern Soul scenes and it is believed that there are strong possibilities to position Northern Soul in these markets as well as other countries where there are either similar or equivalent scenes or an interest in British youth culture."

[Tony Smith]

Can someone re-post a link to it?

[Val (Chunky)]

ummmm it's suddenly gone private Tony  (Hope you're recovered from the weekend. we left the work place at around 11:30)

[Spacehopper]

if youre on facebook its been posted by loads of people,should be able to find it

I do think it's needs to be out there very soon as all the publicity that it is getting at the moment would create a good momentum for a cinema realease

it does indeed 'look good', but I have to say from the clip I'm struggling to find a real story in there, and thats what makes a great movie imho. Hate to knock it at this point but surely it needs to have an emotive plot that people, not on the scene, can connect with?

I think the plot is that they go to America to discover the greatest record ever and bring it back to the UK?

thanks pete, didnt come across well that, did hear mention of the stateside trip, but there's no clips of then trailing through some warehouse or of two dopey northern kids finding there way from the airport to 'the hood'. Will that kind of story have appeal beyond the scene anyway?

[coops]

been where ??

i hear she's one of the 200 million that went to wigan mecca on stanley rd.......

[Paul Shirley]

i hear she's one of the 200 million that went to wigan mecca on stanley rd.......

  , i read she was born in 1965  that would make her about  8 when it started and 16 the year it closed , perhaps  part of the 200 million mistook station rd for sesame street

I can't watch it for some reason, says watch it on Vimeo which then asks for the correct password. Anybody advise please?

Can we get someone to re-enact the scenes, then video it, and put it up so I can get a flavour.... lol

I couldn't give a flying fook if she went to Wigan or not. She's been on the scene for years including the 80s early 90s when most decided it wasn't for them for a decade or 3. That's good enough for me.

To make a film about Northern you need to understand it and be part of it and she is. If you need convincing read her and Gareth's book.

totally agree but you also need a plot that transends its setting for it to have any appeal beyond a northern soul audience.

You know nothing about her, the dedication she has shown into making the film, and the film hasn't even come out yet, and you are already there with the snyde remarks..Class act...

[jocko]

And why are you assuming that it doesn't?

[jocko]

The hilarious thing is nowhere does it say its the story of Wigan, nowhere does she claim she went, and nowhere does it say Martin Scorsese was actually a physcotic paranoid taxi driver with a Mohican. Wonder if we should tell him his methods are wrong.......

I know Elaine and her background and your spot on, no-one need question her credentials because she has the same love and passion for the scene and the music as we all do and if anyone was to make a film we should be grateful its her, a very safe pair of hands. I'm looking forward to what looks set to be the first film that actually gets across some of the passion we all feel for the scene.

[Guest Byrney]

I agree, I'd imagine the plot does although like all of us I've only got this brief trailer to go on.

But even on the trailer I can see parallels with dance culture that my mates on that scene would be interested in.

[Britmusicsoulfan]

It's gone private, so I can't see it.  Can anyone post what it's called so I can look at it on Facebook or online?  

 

Cheers.
