On Monday, Dave Barras (director and co-writer)and me (producer) were invited to hang out on the radio and tell the good people of Leith all about the film of Electric Man. The big gig was Stephen Young's show in the afternoon and we thought we'd just get a 10 minutes slot to plug the film, and try and persuade a few people to sign up for sponsorship packages or contact us to get involved. In the end we monopolised Leith FM with our sparky conversation for a whole hour. We even got to pick some eclectic and electric tracks including: Are Friends Electric?, She's Electric and something that went on and on by ELO (Dave's choice!)Despite Stephen's best efforts to talk a lot about why he loves to lick batteries (don't ask), Dave kept the chat on track, pointing the listeners towards the Electric Man Movie website and explaining why we want to make a film set in Edinburgh that isn't all about misery, drugs and deprivation, but is all about murder, mystery and mayhem. We needed Scott (co-writer) to really get going on the comic zingers, but I was on fire when it came to fantasy casting and put a big shout out to FRANKIE BOYLE, who I think would make a scarily hilarious Jimmy - Glasgow heavy and all round bad guy. C'mon on Frankie - you know you'd love zap some good guys - come join the Electric Man Movie fun!
