London to Brighton - Film Maker's Comments

The aim of LONDON TO BRIGHTON was to create a piece of work that bled reality, that created a world generally ignored in today's society, a world full of characters that we pass by every day. We wanted to tell a story in such a way that it didn't ram a message down an audience's throat, it simply showed them what can and does go on.

Although this is essentially a character piece the story itself is a thriller. Will the girls get caught by Derek? If so will he turn them in to Stuart and what will he do with everybody in order satisfy his need for revenge?

Aside from this important element to the film, it is a gritty look at the subject of paedophilia and the consequences for people who allow themselves to be a part of such a terrible world.

I feel that with all the elements of this film, from characters, costume, locations, dialogue and story we have realistically captured a day in the life of some pretty unfortunate and interesting characters. From the beginning of the film we are not sure who to trust, who will survive and who will at least have a chance to go forward.
