Dead Happy Returns

Dead Happy – the short film starring Alice Lowe and Tom Meeten – is to get a second airing on Sky Movies HD at the end of the month.

The short first aired back in June, and tells the story of a bored Grim Reaper (Lowe), fed up with her 9-5 job and longing for love.  Directed by Nicky Lianos and written by David Lemon, the pilot also features David Bussell, who was behind the unbroadcast Missing Scene pilot featuring Alice & Kevin Eldon made earlier this year.

Dead Happy was funded by Sky Movies Indie HD after Lianos won a competition in The Independent newspaper.  You can see the film once more on the Sky Movies Indie channel on August 28th at 11:40pm, and on the HD version of the channel at the same time as well as an earlier showing at 5:40pm.  For further details, visit the UK TV Guide.

Nicky Lianos gave an interview to The Indpendent website back in June, which we somehow managed to miss on our peeling hunts.  You can catch up with us here. Meanwhile, you can catch the film’s Teaser Trailer and a making-of video at Nicky’s Vimeo page.
