The Desperado

Hi, we are Manix Productions and we are fundraising for our final year university project 'The Desperado'.

When top mob boss Mr Frasier orders a hit on his own thug Mickey (The Desperado) through his own nephew Toni, everything seems like it's going to plan. However. An abandoned warehouse, a shootout that leaves everyone bloody, bruised and bodied and one shocked apprentice later, The Desperado is on the run.

With nowhere left to turn, the young apprentice (Jimmy) decides to go to the only safe place he knows. His mum's house.

With the help of good ole mumsie and his foul mouthed Gran, The Desperado may just have a chance to turn the tide against the man who crossed him...

Combining classic family sitcom tropes and a high octane energy, this film promises to leave you both enthralled and excited all throughout.

We'd so appreciate if you could donate anything to our short film which we feel is a fantastic culmination of all the skills that we've acquired across our university years and presents us in the best way for after uni life.

One mob boss,

One botched hit,

And one angry granny with a gun!

Many thanks,

Ben, Zoe, Vas, Jacob, Dan, Tammo, & Roisin (The Desperado crew)
