car park by Bil McCoidRecently premiered at Salford Film Festival,  Car Park comes to Liverpool

Clapperboard  in partnership with The Multi Story Film Company and Picturehouse, are supporting new local director/writer Bill McCoid, with a Liverpool screening of his first low budget feature film Car Park.  

Car Park
was recently premiered at the Salford Film Festival and received great reviews.

Car Park is a killer docu-soap that suddenly turns into a thriller. This low budget feature starts as a fast moving, almost surreal, documentary set in a Salford car park.  Legendary documentary filmmaker Randy Henry takes us inside the secret world of car parks!  One day, they discover a secret so terrible, so dangerous, that they may never have to park a car again, so long as they live.

In Salford, parking is murder.

A Local writer/director and producer, Bill’s work includes 'Mourning TV' (nominated 'Best New Play' by the Manchester Evening News).  At the age of 23, he wrote and directed 'Speech Therapy' which was awarded 'Most Original Play', in the Liverpool Centenary Festival.

Bill's TV credits include: Panorama, East, Secret Lives, Up Front, Granada News, The Time The Place, Lennon - Just Imagine, World In Action, The Curious Case of Alex (Open Eye), Dispatches, Black Bag, The Antiques Hunter and Interference. Bill was a founder member of Channel M television.

The Screening on the 18th January at FACT is being organised by Clapperboard Presents..., to raise money for the Clapperboard Youth Project, which aims to bring creativity to young peoples lives across the North West.

I have attended many Clapperboard events over the years, so to have our film screened as a Clapperboard event is something of an honour, I would also like to thank Maureen Sinclair who has done so much for filmmakers and film making in the North West in the last ten years. Bill McCoid

As a journalist he has written for The Stage & Television Today, Manchester Evening News, Melody Maker, Outlook, Blitz and City Life. Bill is Course Leader in Screenwriting for Film and Television at the University of Central Lancashire. Car Park is his first feature length film
