What Would Ridley Do?

Synopsis

Two struggling writers believe they have finally sold one of their scripts for £100,000. They think they have made it. But it turns out to only be £1,000. After seeing a video of Ridley Scott online saying 'if you want to make movies just do it!' They decide to make the film themselves. They travel to the highlands of Scotland and meet a local girl and decide she would be perfect in the film. As they are writers they have no idea what they are doing. But do they succeed?
