Romantic comedy about a taxi driver in love with a passenger that he takes shopping every monday...
'Ben and Jackie' (short film)
Made me smile.....and laugh. Have you done any others?
Yes there is more stuff from over the years. It first started in 2001! And there was interest at one point in getting it made as a TV pilot and it eventually ended up on-line in 2007, where you could buy short clips from an official website. It never took off though. People like Johnny Vegas, Paula Wilcox and John Henshaw made cameos as passengers. There's a few links below and they feature another cab driver Rizwan too.
At the moment the intention is to film more new stuff and just get it out there for fun and enter into short film competitions etc and generate new interest. Cheers!
Ahh bless. Fun little tale - your leading guy is brilliant! Nicely written.

Love it 
Although I would have liked it if it ended with the taxi driver quietly saying "It still sounds gay".
The 'Ben and Jackie' short film has now been shortlisted for the 'Reed Film competition'. Along with another short film made by the director (Jason Wingard)called 'Mondays'. If you haven't already voted/watched then please go to the link below: http://www.reed.co.uk/film/
Thanks!
Really enjoyed it. Great acting and great voiceovers. Favourite part was probably the conversation about the points system.
Excellent, well done!
