Project Detail

Fakers

Synopsis

Fakers is an off-beat, comedy crime caper set in the London art world. Nick Edwards (Matthew Rhys) owes £50,000 and has no way of paying-off wannabe crime lord Foster Wright (Art Malik).  This is until he stumbles across a lost sketch by legendary Italian artist Antonio Fraccini. Problem is it's only worth £15,000. A plan is hatched; to forge the drawing and sell it to five Mayfair galleries within an hour before anyone cottons onto the fact that there's a scam going down.
 
Fakers is a high-spirited and overtly optimistiv romp through the territory of trust, love, ingenuity and the desperation involved in trying to survive.
