The idea of shooting a feature film in less than a week is enough to leave the most seasoned filmmaker in a state of panic.

But that's exactly the challenge British director Shane Meadow set himself with latest film “Le Donk & Scor-Zay-Zee,” shot in just five days.

The improvised comedy starring long-time Meadows collaborator, Paddy Considine and real-life rapper Scor-zay-zee, premiered to positive reviews at Edinburgh International Film Festival earlier this year. It follows failed musician, Le Donk, as he struggles to reclaim his life after his pregnant girlfriend walks out on him.

BAFTA-winner Meadows recently said filmmakers should adopt a “punk mentality” if they want to follow in his footsteps.

"It’s not about someone stumping up £2 million [for a film] and putting pressure on you - it’s about smaller characters and crazy ideas," he said in an interview with Wired magazine.

The director has introduced his very own moviemaking dogma "Five day features," with long-time producer Mark Herbert who also serves as the head of Warp Films.

The only rule of the “movement” is that films are shot in five days or less and he hopes it will promote the idea that working under restrictions is good for creativity.

“The 'Donk' DVD and website will be a working manifesto of how to do it," Meadows said. "In the end, people are going to have to get off their ar**s and do it themselves."

Further details of the project will be announced on Meadows'  official Web site in the near future.

"Le Donk & Scor-Zay-Zee" is released in the UK on 9 October and will be available on DVD from 26 October.
