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.

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
