BEST-SELLING psychic thriller First and Only by Jedburgh based Peter Flannery, is to be made into a feature film by award winning director Magnus Wake.

As part of the ambitious project, Wake’s production company Encaptivate Films has recently launched an Indiegogo crowdfund to raise £100,000 of the film’s £1.6 million budget. The First and Only campaign is the largest crowdfunding campaign launched in Scotland for a film. A Selfie reward allows funders to add their selfie photos to the movie credits with a 30-character message for that essential 15 seconds of big screen fame; a first for a crowdfunding campaign. The Selfie perk is one of a range of rewards designed to involve funders in the creation of the movie. Other rewards include an opportunity to influence how the film is made, the chance to appear as an extra and have your name included somewhere in the production.

As well as starring James Robinson (Young William Wallace in Braveheart) the film promises to make the most of Edinburgh’s haunting backdrop in a fast paced action adventure that sees the hunt for a serial killer turn into a battle between good and evil.

Based on author Peter Flannery’s best selling ebook of the same name First and Only follows the adventures of Psimon - a young man with exceptional powers who is haunted by the murder of an old friend. Channeling the cut and thrust of The Bourne Trilogy and the chilling realism of The Sixth Sense the movie follows our hero as he tracks down a serial killer whilst battling with his own inner demons as well as world governments who decide he is too dangerous to be allowed to roam free. A Kindle success story, the novel has become an Amazon best seller and received rave reviews from around the world. Director Magnus Wake was one of over 60,000 fans of the novel and recognising its cinematic potential, successfully secured the options to create his first feature film set in Edinburgh.
