Sabre Films join forces with Ventnor Arts Club to invite Isle of Wight entrepreneurs to back a British film shot entirely in the South of England.
Sabre Films’ production team are visiting the Isle of Wight with the aim of closing finance for their black comedy feature film called “The Hatching” that is set on the Somerset levels.
Seeking potential investors
The evening event invites potential investors on the Island to find out more about “The Hatching”, whilst meeting the film’s producers, writers and director. “The Hatching” is an independent film for worldwide theatrical release. It is fully developed and ready for pre-production.
The event will take place at the newly opened Ventnor Arts Club on Friday 31st May at 7.00pm
The team
Sabre Films’ award-winning film director and cinematographer, Michael Anderson, producers Nigel Wooll and Chantelle de Carvalho and exec producer, Nick Squire, who developed the original concept and screenplay and whose collective film credits include: American Werewolf in London, Dance with a Stranger, GI Jane, Willow and Miss Potter, will be at the presentation to meet potential investors.
Stephen Izatt, owner, Ventnor Arts Club says:
“We are delighted that Sabre Films has chosen Ventnor Arts Club as the location to present their film venture and we hope the event will encourage local involvement and investment in the UK film and creative industries.
“I know from personal experience that investment in UK Film, even in a small way, can be fun as well as offer financial benefits. We’re also looking forward to welcoming new people into the club to see what we have created and invite them to join if they would enjoy being a part of it.”
Nick Squire, Executive Producer, Sabre Films says:
“We believe “The Hatching” is a great opportunity for entrepreneurs wishing to invest in a truly British film. Sabre Films already has 60% of its budget from UK private investors, who are joining us in this creative venture. With shooting planned for late summer, the team is excited at the prospect of investors from The Isle of Wight helping to close the finance, giving the film the green light and the first day of principal photography.
“Ventnor Arts Club is a great example of individuals coming together to create a place to encourage creative and cultural exchange, and opportunity. I hope we can help encourage more people to join, support and enjoy this great new initiative.”
When you think that the stars of the show, including Greg Davies from “The Inbetweeners”, Thomas Turgoose from “This is England” and the wonderful Sylvia Syms, have to share their screen with two hungry crocodiles, well, we hope that this may just get your attention!
