Madhatters Simon Hopes, Phil Miller, Gary Stevenson, Jolyon Hennings and Toni Matthews are amongst the 40 strong cast and crew. 'Smokin' Zone' frontman Steve French also makes his debut performance, proving once again that rap stars always make good actors!

Painted Man will premiere early in the new year at a private function, and a limited number of tickets will be available to Madhatters. The event will also see the launch of the new film from Simon Bennett entitled 'A Piece of Wood'.

'Friday Knight, our last project, was designed as an intensive way of learning about film production. Painted Man is very much taking this knowledge and using it to produce a high quality show piece for both the UAC and the talents of all the cast and crew involved,' described founder of the UAC, Simon Hopes.
