About: 
Hi I am Ken
For the last 4 years I have been producing an independent film called Treasure of the Templars (please feel free to browse the website at www.TreasureOfTheTemplars.com). The film has been shot in both in 3 countries on two continents - we began shooting in the Californian desert, continued in Paris and concluded filming in Scotland this summer. The cast and crew has been an international mix of people from California, Ohio, France, Scotland, England and Northern Ireland. Amongst the crew were experienced industry professionals from LA who believed in the project enough to donate both their time, services and equipment for free. So despite working on an exceedingly small budget (basically the film was funded on student loans and cost around £5,000 in total) we have ended up with a professional looking final product, which you can view in part here:

We also received interest from the local and national media, and as such appeared on the Fred MaCauley Radio show on BBC Scotland Radio, as well as being interviewed by both the BBC Scotland News and Grampian News on television. We also had an article featuring the project in the Glasgow Herald Magazine as well as appearing in numerous local papers. You can listen to the BBC Scotland Radio interview here if you wish:

Our local independent cinema, the Dundee Contempary Arts Theatre, has already agreed to screen the film in conjunction with Tayscreen, part of the Angus, Dundee and Perth regional council. The film will also be screened in Hollywood in California.
