It carefully addresses contemporary issues such as sexuality, disability, ethnicity, love, life and death. City Rats blend of stories and characters gives it a highly marketable demographic. The London theme is in fact very rare among most London productions, which opt for the unrealistic RomCom fairy tale look. Based in the gritty melting-pot of London’s East End and the vibrant central Soho gay scene, we follow the exploits of a handful of everyday people in the capital city of the world. The rich and original material has had seasoned directors literally competing to direct it. With the incorporation of a talented and reputable casting director, City Rats is tipped to draw a cast of the highest calibre from both sides of the Atlantic.

    A Film by GEORGE MENDELUK BITTER HARVEST Starring: Max Irons Samantha Barks Barry Pepper Tamer Hassan with Terence Stamp Synopsis Based on one of the most overlooked tragedies of the 20th century, Bitter Harvest is a powerful story of love, honor, rebellion and survival as seen through the eyes of two young lovers caught in the ravages of Joseph Stalin’s genocidal policies against Ukraine in the 1930s. As Stalin advances the ambitions of communists in the Kremlin, a young artist named Yuri (Max Irons) battles to survive famine, imprisonment and torture to save his childhood sweetheart Natalka (Samantha Barks) from the “Holodomor,” the death-by-starvation program that ultimately killed millions of Ukrainians. Against this tragic backdrop, Yuri escapes from a Soviet prison and joins the anti-Bolshevik resistance movement as he battles to reunite with Natalka and continue the fight for a free Ukraine.

The film is produced by Ian Ihnatowycz, Stuart Baird, George Mendeluk, Chad Barager and Jaye Gazeley. Dennis Davidson, Peter D. Graves and William J. Immerman serve as executive producers.

  • 2014 BAFTA Breakthrough Brits, in Partnership with Burberry
    2014 BAFTA Breakthrough Brits, in partnership with Burberry Jonathan Asser - Writer Jonathan Asser, 50, grew up in Tadmarton, Oxfordshire and now lives in Camden, north London. His first ever script became 2013’s powerful and visceral prison drama Starred Up. For the film, Asser was named Best British Newcomer award at the 2013 BFI London Film Festival and was nominated in Best Screenplay category at the British Independent Film Awards. The film drew on Asser’s own experience of working as a psychotherapist within the prison system, where he developed a new therapeutic way to help violent criminals called Shame/Violence Intervention. Asser said: “I feel proud to have been named as a BAFTA Breakthrough Brit. It feels like an honour and it’s also humbling to be associated with such a talented group of much younger people. It means a lot to me and to my future.” Mike Brett & Steve Jamison - Producer/Directors Mike Brett, 33, grew up in Haywards Heath, Sussex and now lives in Tufnell Park, north London. Steve Jamison, 33, grew up in Saddleworth, Greater Manchester and now lives in Hackney, east London. Brett and Jamison have taken a circuitous route into filmmaking, with past careers between them including teaching, journalism, advertising agency scriptwriting, and as an artist. In 2008 they set up their production company, Archer’s Mark. Their debut documentary feature, Next Goal Wins, about the American Samoan soccer team, reportedly the worst football team in the world, was released earlier this year to critical acclaim. As well as directing their own films, both factual and fictional, Brett and Jamison are also keen to support other new filmmakers with the production and release of their features.
