Co-Production interest........

We are now in extended discussions to co-produce this feature with the team at East Coast Entertainment out of NYC and LA.............with the fantastic cast addition of American actor, Chris DeBlasio (One True Life)

Currently cast being discussed includes a reteaming of Sean Pertwee and Alex Reid from the Mike Bassett "Wilderness" project, and the introduction of Jamie Draven (another Alex Reid collaborator) onto the central cast. Other roles are being considered for Richard Brake (Outpost), Marvin Campbell (28 Days Later), Annelise Hesme (Alexander), and a first feature role for Charley Webb (Emmerdale).

Budget is predicted to reach £1.2m ($1.8m) and to shoot in NW England in and around the Lake District where the story is currently set. There are no shooting dates set at this time. However, as with all things we are prepared to uproot the narrative to Wales, Scotland, or the Peak district if sufficient financial interest can be garnered - the story has that versatility - to ensure appropriate seasons / weather conditions are achievable.

I'll keep you up to speed as things progress further.
