Bunny and the Bull film making competition

A few months ago at the Movie Con II event in London, I was fortunate enough to see some clips from the surreal road trip adventure Bunny and the Bull, due out on 27 November.

Set entirely set in the flat of the lead characters, the film follows Stephen (Ed Hogg), a heartbroken recluse who finds his mind hurtling back to a disastrous treck around Europe he took with his best friend, Bunny (Simon Farnaby), a dissolute gambling addict, as they embark on an extraordinary odyssey where his imagination is the only limit.

Journeying from the industrial wastelands of Silesia to the ball fields of Andalusia, their adventures bring them into contact with Hungarian dog enthusiast (Julian Barratt), a moustachioed matador (Noel Fielding) and a hot-tempered crab waitress (Veronica Echegui) who soon tests how far their friendship really goes.

From what I've seen, it's a visually stunning adventure from director Paul King (The Mighty Boosh) - take a look at the trailer to see what I mean:



Now, in preparation for the film's release, Paul King has initiated a road-trip themed film competition, hosted on Bunny and the Bull’s MySpace page

Budding directors to create a short film of approximately one to two minutes long, with a digital camera, webcam or mobile phone. The winning ‘to the end of the living room and back’ short will then be included on the Bunny and the Bull DVD.

The Mighty Boosh's Noel Fielding, who stars in Bunny and the Bull alongside Ed Hogg, Julian Barrett and Veronica Echegui, will be judging all competition entries with Paul King. With last entries on 23 November, filmmakers should head to MySpace now for more information.
