And the winning story is...

"The Lost Princess"

Congratulations to Becky Stothert and Emma Gill aka Ticket Productions, whose detective story "The Lost Princess" is our Goole Silent Movie project!

Beating stiff competition from our competing groups to win the Gong Show, it will enter production over the coming weeks.

"The Lost Princess" is a fictional story, a murder mystery like an Inspector Morse, the story of a New Inspector that comes to Goole and discovers a body of a young girl and has to unravel the mystery of her murder. Set around the docks of the port of Goole the young girl turns out to be Anastasia the missing Russian Princess, but who murdered her and why?


In the spotlight: Winners Becky Stothert and Emma Gill.

Congratulations also to Becky Ellerington, Hannah Littlefair and Emma Thompson aka 2 brunette's and a blonde, whose true life story of one man’s determination to save lives and improve living conditions in Goole will be made into a Pathe style news reel!



"A fiery story of a one-man battle against an almost impossible council after his best and most loyal friend dies.” The story of how Mr Ellis, one of Goole’s oldest residents, died due to bad housing and how Dr Holmes forced the Council leader to face up to the conditions people were living in. A Campaigning story that results in the bringing of hygienic housing to Goole.

This Saturday, screenwriter and guest lecturer at the Northern Film School, Paul Arrowsmith will help all our writers transform "The Lost Princess" and "Dr A D Holmes" into scripts. As a script editor/advisor on over 50 short films, Paul brings a wealth of experience to the Goole Silent Movie Project. Budding writers are welcome to join us this Saturday, 12.30-6pm at Dunhill Road Community Centre in Goole, next to The Gate Theatre.

It takes confidence to pitch infront of our judging pannel and audience. Well done to everyody who took part!
