    The Hungarian-British co-production Colorado Kid, the debut feature from film critic Andras Vagvolgyi B, has moved into postproductionin England.

    The movie is produced by Hungarian partner is Cameo Film (www.cameofilm.hu) with producer Attila Csaky and British co-production partner is Parallel Pictures (www.parallelpictures.co.uk) with producers Bill Chamberlain and Lee Chamberlain.
