LOCAL NEWS UPDATE
On Monday the 18th May the Express & Echo ran an article on the recent UK Film Council winners – Ashley Thorpe and 
Toby De Burgh, who curiously enough are both Exeter Phoenix ‘proteges’ and good friends.
The article focuses upon Toby (scientist and engineer and winner of the jury prize in the 2008 ‘Two Short Nights festival‘) and his upcoming production, tentatively titled ‘Undertow‘ and his search for a location.
Toby De Burgh -“The type of place we are looking for is a rural setting with a river that is deep enough and slow moving enough to take a rowing boat.”
“There would need to be a characterful house, not modern, with a garden on the river with a woodland around it and we would be shooting on set for four days.”
To suggest a suitable location (or answer Toby’s call for actors / extras) email toby@cineonproductions.com
Ashley Thorpe’s UK Film council funded project is to be Penny Dreadful 4: ‘The Hairy Hands‘ – also due to commence filming in June 2009.
