Laundry Service

Logline : "When the local money launder who treads a fine line between rival gangs is tricked into double-crossing one of them, he doesn't know who to trust as more gang members are sent to retrieve the goods he had a hand in stealing."

Laundry Service is a crime comedy in the style of Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch but involving US gangs in the North of England.

In this fish-out-of-water crime-comedy, rival gangs send members over from LA and NY to try to find out what happened to a shipment stolen on route to buyers in the North of England. While their respective gang leaders try to control what's happening by phone, the gang members sent over are lost in very unfamilar terriory and well out of their depth. Local gang members wanting a piece of the action complicate matters and matters come to a head as the local money launderer who was double-crossed and tricked into organising the heist tries to resolve the situation.

"Laundry Service" intends to tap into the hip-hop cultures of both the US and UK by casting some roles from within the repective genres. We believe this and a suitably complementary score will help attract an audience on both sides of the Atlantic as well as further afield.
