A FILM BY SHANE MEADOWS
“This is Donk. stripped bare down to his filthy understrikers. Me, with my pubic weasels laid out for all to gawp at.” Donk / Paddy Considine
“The Spinal Tap of Midlands white-boy rap” FHM
“Considine & Meadows are on top form….sit back and enjoy. 4 stars” The Times
“A monumental mockumentary from Brit cinemas premier director/actor double act. True, daft, emotional, hilarious. 4 stars” Empire
Le Donk & Scor-zay-zee is an improvised comedy, shot over five days by Shane Meadows, devised with and starring Paddy Considine. Rock roadie and failed musician, Le Donk (Considine) has lived, loved and learned (?). Along the way he’s lost a girlfriend (Olivia Colman) and his life has turned to shit. But…he has found a new sidekick in up-and-coming Nottingham rap prodigy Scor-zay-zee (playing himself). With Meadows’ fly-on-the-wall crew in tow, Donk sets out to make Scor-zay-zee (and himself) a star…with a little help from the Arctic Monkeys… This low-budget rockumentary follows Le Donk and Scorz on their journey of a lifetime; it’s an unpredictable, irrepressible ode to spontaneous filmmaking – and to a burgeoning UK rap talent.
Le Donk & Scor-Zay-Zee is the first 5 Day Feature to be released by Warp Films. It will be the first of a series of 5 Day Features, a movement created by Shane Meadows and Mark Herbert. Unlike Dogma, it has few rules – in fact there is only one rule – it has to be shot in 5 days. Shane and Mark hope to encourage film makers to create a feature film in 5 days, be they first time film makers or Steven Spielberg. There are some exciting directors who have approached Warp and Shane with their projects and news of their films will follow later this year.
Says Meadows; "After taking two life sapping years to make This is England, I decided it was time to get back to my roots as a Guerilla Filmmaker. So me, Mark and our miniscule team decided to stick two fingers up to the establishment and make a film with our own money in only five days. Oh yeah, and we had to somehow get 50,000 people in our final scene for free!"
Says Herbert; “The making of this film was a road-trip in itself. It had all the intensity of a 6 week shoot but condensed into 5 days. It was riveting, terrifying and a laugh from start to finish. Basically whilst waiting for lawyers to sort out our next film we went off in a van and made Donk.”
