Four Deadly Androids; One Bounty Hunter; We’re in BIG trouble
Mark needs our support!!!
Bladder Run – a homage to Blade Runner.
Rex Dickard is a retired bounty hunter living in a sprawling city of the future. He is brought into the headquarters of his old boss, Frank Brian, by a new bounty hunter, Guff. There Brian briefs Dickard about four deadly escaped androids, Junior; Nora; Pritt and Ray Botty.
Dickard agrees to take on one last case, and begins his investigation at the Lorell Corporation, where he meets Raquel a repressed nymphomaniac and top of the line android.
As his investigation proceeds, Dickard encounters the various androids and his quest ultimately leads him to a show down with Botty – the overweight psychotic whose wobbling blubber guts – squeezed into lycra cycling shorts – are the most horrifying aspect of the entire story!
The Movie
Bladder Run began life as an 8 page squit written in response to the so called Director’s Cut released in the early 1990s. Writer/director Mark Hevingham was lucky enough to see a sneal preview of the original 1982 release and has been a fan ever since. Having expanded the plot to a full 90 minute feature – and puching it through over 25 versions until he was happy with the plot – took over a decade and the movie began to take shape in 2008 when Mark assembled a cast and crew.
Setting out to make copies of classic Blade Runner props and costumes was only the beginning. THe movie grew from a project that could be filmed over a weekend into a full production with lights HD cameras and locations loaned by local businesses. During the first half of 2010 scenes were filmed that replicated the Tyrell building (Holdall interviews Junior, Dickard meets Raquel), Taffey Lewis’ bar, the fight scene in the street and so on.
People such as www.bladezone.com, Charles De Laurizika and Paul M Sammon have previously metioned there support this project.

Sadly the owner of the HD equipment, including lights and mics, was forced to drop out in the fall of 2010 due to work commitments, leaving us with 30% of the movie completed and nothing to complete it on.
What will we spend your investment on?
This is where your funding will go. If you are willing to donate, we will purchase (its too expensive over a long production to hire) the following equipment:
At least one HD Camera – used second owner units sell for around £1200/$1800 on ebay
Audio recording equipment – including boom mic and tie mics (with radio transmitters) again good, low cost ebay equipment is available for less than $100 for a radio mic kit.
Lights – including spots, floods and diffusers
Location hire – this will be the rest of the amount and will eat into the budget and with a venue costing up to $500 a day you can see that we need to be creative and negotiate.
