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.
