Crossing the County Lines is a feature length, dark comedy screenplay which follows the lives of 3 northern drug gangs The Townies, The Gypsies and the City Boys. I have written it as a feature length screenplay but it would also make an excellent TV drama series. I live in a deprived area of the poor part of the country and grew up alongside drug and alcohol misuse. There are a lot of problems in the north east with the whole 'County Lines' issue which has become a very topical news subject in the media. I had written an earlier comedy screenplay which had some great feedback and then I thought should write something different about the whole 'County Lines' problem but from a different angle. There is a lot of dark humour and banter between the characters as we get to look into their day to day lives'. I have a great deal of faith in this script as there is so much scope to develop the characters and also to introduce new ones. It is written with working class humour and language and has some great twists. This screenplay is parts 1 and 2 of 6x60 mins series. I have worked for many years in media producing documentaries etc and 6 years ago started writing and now that is my main interest.
