Red Stable Films is currently producing Under the Radar: The Mike Edmonds Story and they need your help to bring the film to life. The film makers are using Indiegogo to raise funds to finance the movie and are offering several perks that will be of interest to Star Wars autograph collectors.
Edmonds, a fan favorite in ever sense of the term, is one of the most accessable and engaging luminaries from the GFFA on social media, specifically Facebook. I know I am not alone when I say this is one film many Star Wars fans are eager to see made.
From Youtube:
Since his first movie role in Ken Loach’s Black Jack (1979), Mike Edmonds has stolen scenes in some of the most iconic movies ever made – from Time Bandits (as the none-too bright, Og) to Return of the Jedi (as Ewok-shaman, Logray), along with countless others, including Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Legend, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, The Dark Crystal and The Empire Strikes Back.
Born with achondroplasia (or dwarfism), Mike discovered his acting talent in his thirties and went on to forge an exhilarating career – one that has seen him trade lines with Olivier, tour with the Royal Shakespeare Company and entertain millions of kids as diminutive badass Little Ron in the much-loved BBC series Maid Marian and her Merry Men. He’s also responsible for operating that most expressive of all cinematic appendages: Jabba the Hutt’s tail.
In this frank, funny and fascinating documentary, Mike talks about his Essex childhood, his early breaks in film and the many high points he’s enjoyed, whilst providing his own unique perspective on the actor’s craft. Colleagues past and present line up to reminisce and give their views on what makes Mike such a brilliant collaborator – including Terry Gilliam, Jeremy 'Boba Fett' Bulloch, theatre producer, Paul Elliott, and BBC director, David Bell.

There are 12 levels of perks available for donating anywhere from £1 to £500, and several include autographed photos from Edmonds. Click HERE to learn more and donate today.
