THE REVIEWS
"Hilarious film! Excellent!"
NATIONAL YOUTH FILMMAKER SOCIETY
"British humor at its finest!"
DAYDREAM ENTERTAINMENT
"The boy has delivered. It's an absolute winner. This film rocks."
INDIE FILM NATION
"Bloody brilliant stuff! I can honestly say I haven't laughed that hard since Kevin Smith's 'Clerks'! Jack Wright was absolutely fantastic! Fisher can direct any genre and pull it off. This is a pitch perfect comedy which brings back fond memories of Kevin Smith's movies. It's bursting with that humor that anyone can relate to. Funny stuff!"
BROTHERS GRIMM PRODUCTIONS
"It beats the shit out of anything I've seen."
WEE ROCK PRODUCTIONS
"The wait was justified! Had me laughing so hard. Brit humour at it's finest!"
WHITE EAGLE PRODUCTIONS
"One of the best movies I've ever seen! I couldn't stop laughing. A visually brilliant, comic masterpiece"

BEHIND THE SCENES
SHANKS II: HABIT
The sequel to "Shanks" will begin shooting over the Christmas period of 2006, announced Fisher in a press conference on the 1st December. "The screenplay is having a brief re-draft right now because there was a lot of time left loose after Larry's serious illness. I'm glad to announce that he's on the road to recovery and maybe soon we can get a video blog out for everyone to see how he's doing." said Fisher.
"Habit" introduces five new major characters in to Rusty's world.These are:
Blinky and Banky
Rusty's stoner housemates
Aggie
A confused tree hugger
Akemi
Rusty's ex-girlfriend
and last but not least
Yuri
A crazy squatter at Rusty's flat.
The film is likely to last for about twenty minutes and promises another ball-achingly funny appearance from Barry Fisher as Malick as well as a very brief cameo by director Darren Fisher. Fisher also revealed that acclaimed producer Oleg Loginov is working over the screenplay as well as playing a part in the film but a lot of information is being witheld at this point for legal reasons.

I'd like to meet:


All of my fans. I'd devote as much time if not more to you than studio executives because you are the ones who have lifted me and carried me though the hard times until this moment in which I feel truly victorious.
Studio officials, successful directors etc. who can offer me owrk placements. I will work from shining your shoes if it means I get the chance to one day be in your position.
