I GOTTA BE ME. A few years ago a Rat Pack tribute show, featuring the music of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Junior, toured Cyprus [including Tala Amphitheatre], followed by a documentary film crew and the 'Ratpacking In Cyprus' film was produced.
This is no ordinary documentary but rather an hilarious blend of fact and fiction surrounding the tour. Now, a new web series, based on the original film, has been produced, featuring local entertainers, Andrea Morrelli, Martin Rhodes, Andrew Oliver and others, together with Phaldut Sharma [EastEnders, The Office, Gravity, Gavin & Stacey and Faraway Close] as Sammy Davis Junior. You will also have the chance to see a very young Andrea Morrelli when he appeared in Stars in Their Eyes!
I Gotta Be Me offers short episodes of the story.
The two young aspiring film makers behind the project need additional funding to finish the series. They are using the crowd funding site Kickstarter. In the launch weekend 67 generous people pledged an amazing £3,336 to the project, so they are well on their way to the target of £5,000. Please help if you can, by viewing the clips, or by pledging anything from £1.
