A movie by Frinton producer Tony Longhurst is set be screened at a three-day film festival in Ireland.
Ten Percent is in the running for a cash prize at the first Waterford Film Festival.
It will be shown on Sunday, November 18.
A 1min 20sec trailer of the movie is available on YouTube.com Mr Longhurst, of Elton Road, struggled to find the £50,000 funding for the film.
He was bankrupt when backers pulled out two weeks before filming was due to start. The 44-year-old actor battled on and even took part in a fundraising boxing match.
The film, which is directed by Adam Ross, brother of television and radio presenter Jonathan Ross, is targeted at art film lovers and boxing fans.
It is about the 1937 world heavyweight title fight between James J Braddock and Joe Louis, and is shot in the style of a 1940s B-movie.
It looks at the politics surrounding the fight and at the business that manipulated it.
