Overview

There was a time when Bonzo was the best clown in town. However after being undermined by his rival Mr. Fernelli, Bonzo finds himself on a downward spiral of alcoholism and six months later he’s at the bottom of a bottle with his career in ruins.

After receiving a message from ‘Clowns UK’ (the governing body for clowns) that they are reviewing his clowning licence, Bonzo decides this may be his last chance to prove to himself, the authorities and the local community that he can be the clown he once was and decides to get his business back, taking on Mr. Fernelli in the ultimate “Clown Off”. But as he sets on his path, his addiction haunts him at every turn and he finds that sometimes even when you win, you really lose.

OUR GOAL

Our goal for this is first and foremost to create a top short film that everyone involved can be proud of and that will be engaging for any audience that views it. In order to get the film out there, we are aiming to get the film to a festival on each of the SEVEN continents (including Antarctica) to reach as many different people as possible and get a global following of people for the film. We also have a cast and crew from not only the UK but Ireland, Brazil, Columbia, Greece, Italy and Pakistan so want to make our project as far reaching as possible.
