Statement From the Writers of No Balls – Scrum Like it Hot
As I’m sure most of you are now aware, I am not currently attached to the project “No Balls” AKA “Scrum Like it Hot” and a new director has been attached. I am greatly saddened not to be involved after four years of development and hard work, up until now it has been the focus of my life. It is important though that I underline that I have not stepped down, and I have not spoken to the new director about his attachment to the project. I have not been involved in this process at all.
It is also important that I point out to those people who have supported myself and my team over the last few years, that the very last thing I would have done at the moment is to step down, this is not my choice and my own treatment that I have received is something that will cut deep for a very long while. The film now trying to find funding has very little to do with us. As far as we’re aware, the project will still be based on the script that Simon and I wrote, based on my original idea. However, that’s as far as our involvement currently stands, and we do not endorse the project.
For these and other reasons Simon and I feel we must distance ourselves from the project. We are no longer convinced that the film “Scrum Like it Hot” will resemble anything close to our creative vision.
By all means support the project, but be under no illusions that in doing so you will be supporting us. You will not be.
As for myself and my team, we have picked ourselves up, dusted ourselves down and are now working on further projects, as disappointing as events of the last few months have been, we have not been put off doing what we believe we can do. Expect further statements regarding other projects in the future.
In the meantime, I would like to thank every single person that has believed in us and for all the support that we have been given. It all means more to us then we can possibly express.
Regards,
Martyn Chalk
