“The Lords of Gas is a way of living rather than just a film. It is a cutting edge observational documentary with comedy at its core and living the high life at its circumference. It shares its ideals by showing the viewer the indepth psychology of blagging and infiltration techniques used to enter restricted A-list parties, Film Premieres and some of the world most glamorous showbiz events” remarks, Executive Producer, Malcolm Giovanni of The Bigger Picture Films.
'The Lords of Gas' film trilogy begins with the film team blagging their way into the world famous Monaco Gran Prix in 2004. The film sees the covert film squad travel the globe trying their array of covert Blag! techniques filming in locations such as The Cannes Film Festival, Ghostbusting in Doorwerth Castle, Holland; a multitude of London Film Premieres including: The Casino Royal - After Show Party; Las Vegas Porn Conference; James Bond: Miami Model Castings and Miami Gun Range, Jesus in the Holyland, Israel, The Pantomime Cow blag! and film financing with Laughing Gas Balloon stands at ‘Bestival’
The Lords of Gas sequel, is brought to you under the direction of Tim Burke, President The Bigger Picture Films, Executive Producer Malcolm Giovanni of The Bigger Picture Films, Chairman and Chief Executive officer of Paradise Pictures Entertainment Jack Lomax; Terri Bazley, President and Chief Operating Officer Paradise Picture Entertainment's New York Office; Christy Lindsay and James Wright, Chief of Post production.
The Lords of Gas Part II, is unprecedented in its concept, story telling and reality film making; the production breaks new ground in style and low budget independent production.
The films makers also pride themselves that the film is 95% REAL, ; leaving you guessing what is the staged 5%.
Anouska Bolton Lee, Main lead Star and co-producer says; “ Where Part I went into depth about blagging and our MTV story, Part II really examines a number of themes true to everyday life; money, sex, love and relationships. It's our story about making a film and the viewer shares all our highs and our lows giving an accurate picture of the film industry from making, editing, screening and selling a low budget independent movie...this is the ultimate in film voyeurism”.
Malcolm Giovanni adds; “Where Borat, to whom we are all huge fans, was 50% real and 50% setup, our films are 98% real, making viewing totally compelling and at times quite unbelievable”
The Lords of Gas: Part II, is a film about a film. The storyline is all about making The Lords of Gas: Part I. However, just like in Part I, there are many international locations from post production in London, Soho; Film Finance at 'Bestival' and 'The Secret Garden', Film Marketing at Sundance, Utah; Film Networking in L.A; Star Interviews and Music production at The Superbowl, Phoenix; International Film sales in Sicily and then The World Premiere at The Cannes Film Festival. Please see premiere details below.
