The film will be shown on Monday 18th January, 7pm at Picturehouse at Fact.

Car Park, which has received rave reviews, is a killer docu-soap that suddenly turns into a thriller. Set in a Salford car park, the feature starts as a fast moving documentary which as legendary filmmaker Randy Henry shows the audience the secret world of car parks.

...In Salford, parking is murder.

A delighted Bill said: "I have attended many Clapperboard events over the years, so to have our film screened as a Clapperboard event is something of an honour, I would also like to thank Maureen Sinclair who has done so much for filmmakers and film making in the North West in the last ten years."

As a journalist he has written for The Stage & Television Today, Manchester Evening News, Melody Maker, Outlook, Blitz and City Life.
