Director Robin Hardy stated -

“

One of these investors, putting up £750,000 ( $ 1.5m ), appears to have been wiped out by the current Credit Crunch leaving us, within two weeks of starting to shoot, to replace his investment. This naturally led to our producers ( Peter Watson-Wood and Alastair Gourlay ) to postpone the production till we have closed the gap. Replacing this money in the current financial climate will not be easy but investors are trickling in from both sides of the Atlantic.
