Question 2

Do people actually die?

Accepted Answer

Are you crazy? No. There are inverted commas around the work 'kill'. Basically in the assasins league participants get given a target which they have to take out you need to watch your back because they need to take you out too. This can happen at any point in your day to day life. You can be buying some tea bags from the local tesco metro and BAM you've got a waterpistol pressed against you head at the checkout.

Question 3

Why are you making this?

Accepted Answer

Great question. We love telling stories and this one has it all. Action, comedy and heart. Filmmaking and telling stories is our passion. We like to entertain through postive and fun filmmaking. The absolute intention is to make you laugh, cry and want to buy a waterpistol and get involved. The other thing we wanted to do is showcase the everyday heros, the disabled and their carers. Having experience ourselves with disabled parents telling this story is well and truly close to our hearts.

Question 6

What is the assasins league?

Accepted Answer

We made this up for the film but its a knock out competition. You are given a target and have to take them out before they take you out. Still with us? You do this with a waterpistol. The first to wet the other progresses until you get to the final head to head. The winner takes all, mostly respect and the golden water pistol.
