This time next year we’ll be film
tycoons...
express.co.uk 19 Dec 10 Sir David
Jason was so impressed with a comedy film script his chauffeur
handed to him after being given it to read by two unknown
writers that he agreed to direct the movie for free. And the
film they made is so good it has just won six awards at the
prestigious Monaco International Film Festival. Shane Hamill and
Ben Sweet, who became friends while working as extras in the
bar of the Woolpack pub in ITV1 soap Emmerdale, wrote the
script for the comedy All The Way Up. Then former Huddersfield
Town footballer Ben, 32, landed a job as an assistant director
on the TV crime drama A Touch Of Frost, which stars Sir David.
