A FILM made in East Lancashire is set to go Down Under at a prestigious Australian film festival.
Diary of a Bad Lad was made by Pleased Sheep Productions, a company founded several years ago by Michael Booth, from Knuzden.
It is the first feature-length Pleased Sheep film.
The film, a dark comedy, follows a group of film-makers as they try to make a documentary about a dangerous criminal.
It was shot largely in Blackburn, Great Harwood and Darwen, in 2005.
It was submitted as a British entrant for the Cannes Film Festival the same year, but was not selected.
But now it has been chosen to be a part of the Melbourne Underground Film Festival, one of the largest regional festivals in the country.
Writer/producer Jon Williams, 60, of Parsonage Road, Blackburn, said he is trying to get the film shown in as many independent cinemas, art centres and film soceties as possible.
