Mavis Davis. Directed by: John Henderson
The actual full title of the movie is: Bring Me the Head of Mavis Davis. It is a British comedy film.
The opening title sequence featured Rik Mayall who I composited (using Adobe photoshop) into a series of press images of Abba,
Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney etc. The Main title itself was hand lettering based on my own pencil sketch
for style and form. At this time in the late 1990's Hand Lettering was one of my specialist areas of graphic art.
The film was originally released in 1997. It stars the late Rik Mayall (I was a big fan of the Young Ones
in the 1980's), Jane Horrocks, American actor Danny Aiello and Ross Boatman.
The titles and optical effects were produced at Cine image film Opticals.
I was accredited as: 'graphic designer' on the end title sequence.
Film title and plot referenced Sam Peckinpah's Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia. The film was also
entered into the 20th Moscow International Film Festival.
