This Is Local London has highlighted Worcester Park's answer to Guy Ritchie, Steven Spielberg and Quentin Tarantino all rolled into one, namely Louis Cardona. He and colleague Matthew Lindsey made a short film called "The Ballad of Mulla and Mullins" that was presented at the Cannes film festival.

TiLL explains:
Mr Cardona said: “We were finding it hard to find a location but we knew we need somewhere spacious, easily-accessible and cheap to keep production costs down.

“There is a kind of empty gym-type building near my parents' house in Worcester Park which was perfect as several scenes from the film are shot in a basement.”

The film stars Alan Ford, who played Bricktop in Guy Ritchie's film Snatch and here's the last word from TiLL
"In May the film debuted at the Short Film Corner of the Cannes Film Festival and earned rave reviews. "

Some images from the film can be seen on the movie's website:
