F&ME readies UK-Albania co-pro ‘Elvis Walks Home’

16/05/2016
Screen Daily shkruan per projektin e ri te regjisorit shqiptar Fatmir Koci. Ky projekti i rendesishem eshte financuar tashme nga QKK.
A UK-Albania co-production is underway in which an Elvis impersonator finds himself in the middle of a war zone.
The UK’s Film and Music Entertainment (F&ME) has joined forces with Albania’s Kkoci Productions and Zagreb’s Propeler Films on Elvis Walks Home, based on an original screenplay by Welsh author Jonathan Preece and directed by Fatmir Koci.
The shoot begins on August 15 in Albania and Bosnia. US actor Nick Shreli plays the lead role of Mickey, who gets a job entertaining British troops during the 1999 Balkans wars but finds himself in the middle of the battlefield – dressed as Elvis.
Other roles will be taken by Ndricim Xhepa, Amos Zaharia , Dritan Kastrati, Romir Zalla, Ergys Halili, Maradona Kodra.
Elvis Walks Home marks the second collaboration of Preece, Koci and Mike Downey of F&ME following Amsterdam Express, which was the first ever UK-Albania co-production.
F&ME has brought 12 active productions to Cannes this year and recently closed a sales deal with WIDE Management for DeDe, the debut feature of Mariam Khatchvani.

Having carefully reviewed all applications, the Selection Committee of the FIRST FILMS FIRST program has made a final decision. We have received an overwhelmingly high number of projects – 159 in total. The Committee’s decisions have been very difficult since the quality of the majority of the projects was on a high level. We regret many of the projects we love didn’t make the list since we were limited to only 8 participants and we hope to keep in touch with all the directors who applied. 
We are happy to announce the list of selected directors and their projects (in alphabetical order):
Derya Durmaz: THE BUS TO AMERICA (Turkey)
Ognjen Isailović: MAYBE FISH ARE DREAMING OF US (Serbia)
Ana Jakimska: BOY SCOUTS (Macedonia)
