Richard Harrison
Writer/Director and Producer of award-winning, cult feature film, The Honey Killer, which since it's release on Amazon Prime and Google Play in 2018 has become one of the most pirated and shared films on the internet in at least NINE different languages. This unknown film went 'viral' and ran at over 60m illegals hits on Google, becoming a bona fide, underground world wide hit. It is still getting over 20,000 views a month on Amazon, nearly two years after its release. It was released world wide in March 2020 on iTunes, Amazon Prime and Google Play.
The follow-up screenplay, Handful of Thieves was nominated for Best International Screenplay 2018 in the Beverly Hills Film Festival and is being pitched now, 2021-2022 for a £5-6m budget. A fast moving bank heist movie set in Southern Spain that's wrapped around a love story between two master thieves, HOT evolves like a modern-day, spaghetti western style, thriller. It also has a 10 part TV series structured to run off the back of the movie.
Because of the success of The Honey Killer, we are now considering a bigger budget remake in 2022 -2023, with a sequel and spin-off television series called, The Honey Killers.
