SKETCHWORK to Launch Film Careers in Cornwall

Cornish based SketchWork Productions is the company to keep an eye on over the next couple of months as they ignite their latest feature film project that is looking to benefit many Cornish industries.

One of the founding aspects of SketchWork was to generate 'real' film opportunities for Cornish companies and bring larger budget productions into the county. Not only does this put Cornish film, sound and lighting crews to work, but it will also provide work for many other industries as a result of the shoot. "There are many good crews in Cornwall who rarely get an opportunity to show off their talent" says Justin Heasman, managing director of SketchWork, "it is disheartening to see that when film work does arrive in Cornwall, crews are brought in from out of the county". Matthew Dymond, co-director of SketchWork continues, "our vision is not only to generate work for Cornish film crews, but also to kick start the careers of many actors and actresses wanting to break into the industry".

Cornwall is renowned for its beautiful scenery, which SketchWork wish to show off in their films, however Justin is keen to add that "we greatly respect the Cornish landscape and by no means will this production have a detrimental effect on its beauty".

The 10 month project has entered the pre-production phase and is looking to enter production in the summer. Please check the local press and the SketchWork website for regular updates on auditions and ways in which you can get involved in this great project.
