I Want Candy

Synopsis

Our heroes have a dream - in this case, to make a movie. Frustrated by their college lecturer, wannabe producer Joe and his talented but neurotic director friend Baggy head to London to sell what they know is a script made of gold. Encountering nothing but closed doors, their luck changes when an equally desperate producer (and general lowlife) is willing to bung them some cash - but only if they can nab the right star, the legendary porn actress Candy Fiveways. Against all odds they manage to secure her services but it's not long before trouble heads their way. Making a groundbreaking graduation film with scenes of an adult nature in your parents' house was never going to be easy. Will Joe and Baggy successfully wrap their DIY skinflick and is there a possibility of finding real love along the way?
