The effect of this 'comedy' and the Media

Alan Conway had a son: Martin. His son spent years telling family members, friends social services what was going on during his "Kubrick" years - but at the time not one person took him seriously. Martin at one point confronted his father and asked him why friedns of his call him "Stan" - he was given a cock and bull story - which Martin did not belive. When this was uncovered initially in 1997 - it was then that all these disbeliveing people started to come out of the woodowrk and claim that they belived Martin all along.

Martin was not consulted about this movie. He has seen the press reports and people making entertainment and money out of what actually is quite a distressing horrific story. Martin did attempt to contact the production team - aware that they had no legal obligation to him - but thought out of courtesy they might deem to contact him back - but there was no responses.

When Martin orginally gave the interview to the Observer in 1999 - not only was he not paid a penny for this - he was also at the time in the middle of a depressive illness (little wonder) - and it felt like for the first time Martin was being listened to and taken seriously about what had gone on for many years. It seems that the press have ridden on the back of the observer story, as well as the original exposee in Vanity Fair (which Martin had nothing to do with).

Martin is cringing at this media frenzy into his father and moreover I can assure you that he hopes this film falls flat on its face. The production team could not bring themselves to contact Martin - I find that arrogant and obtuse - and if the film fails - so be it!
