We have been inspired to support a group of local film makers starting filming their first major film right here in the East Devon area. See the press release below..
A trio
of local lads have formed a film production company ‘Primley Road Productions’
after much acclaim for their pilot episode of ‘Clive’ last year. Their first
feature film, – The Catch – starts shooting in East Devon and other locations
in July this year, and whilst they have been supported with location and studio
equipment by MWS Media, a film production company in the Thames Valley, much
needed funding is required for hiring locations and more. Rudge Renewables have
helped with some sponsorship, but more is needed to bring this home grown
comedy to the UK’s film screens.

‘The
Catch’ is a character driven, coming-of-age comedy, with a truly original
story. Supported by the acclaimed production company, MWS, who are eager to
nurture Britain’s next generation of film makers, Rudge Renewables have also
been keen to invest in the future of these local talented youngsters who
obviously have a planned future in British film writing and production.
