Lights, Camera, Anarchy is The Disaster Artist meets This Is Spinal Tap-with a very generous helping of pandemonium thrown in for good measure!In the autumn of 2023, a small group of filmmakers journeyed into the Scottish Highlands to shoot a sci-fi/action movie on a shoestring budget. What was supposed to be a straightforward production quickly spiralled into cinematic chaos, and the events that transpired would go down in history as one of the most tumultuous low-budget film shoots ever.When 'action' was called, everything that could go wrong did go wrong: the lead actress was a prima donna; the worst weather Scotland had seen in decades hit; the special effects team was laughably incompetent; sound issues arose from low-flying aircraft; the stunt choreographer’s methods were painfully slow; a crew member was fired for insubordination; the main camera catastrophically malfunctioned; and multiple employees were habitually late. All of this happened during the first week of production-and it only got worse from there.Author and filmmaker Richard John Currie served as the 1st AD during this production, and he had front-row seats to the madness. As the chaos unfolded before his eyes, Richard started surreptitiously documenting everything that transpired on set. When the cameras finally stopped rolling, he had recorded it all.Lights, Camera, Anarchy is Richard John Currie’s brutally honest account of a film production that almost self-imploded, a director who wouldn’t give up, the crew who endured absolute hell, and a 1st AD who nearly lost his mind. This memoir takes you behind the scenes to witness the daily chaos, the tantrums, and the sheer insanity of a curse-ridden film shoot.This isn’t a Hollywood success story-it’s a cinematic nightmare!
