Local filmmaker launches crowdfunder for Midlands police drama

midlandsmovies • July 28, 2024

A local Midlands filmmaker is expanding upon their recently released proof-of-concept short to create something even more special as their production team launches a crowd-funder to develop his latest film project.


Director Scott Driver recently completed his (Midlands Movies Awards-nominated) short SOFT, a film exploring loyalty and its difficult ramifications.


Set in a greasy spoon diner, the film follows Isaac, a criminal turned police informant who meets with a friend and colleague Kev to debrief after a recent botched heist.


Driver has already seen considerable success with his previous films Hamster (

With the campaign underway, the director is raising funds for the film’s production and is offering a number of exclusive perks for donors. These include names in credits, script copies, behind the scenes packages and premiere screening tickets.


You can follow the film’s progress via Instagram (

They say a cup of tea can solve everything. In Charles Strider’s debut short, A Glass House, it might not solve everything, but it can at least be the starting point for a conversation. This is a beautiful piece of work, shot on film in a 4:3 ratio, at a gorgeous location in King’s Norton, with a tight, naturalistic script that delves into difficulties around talking about our mental health.
