Pilot for children's TV series
At the end of September 09 we will be shooting the pilot episode of Nettlecatfish on set in Duloe and on location near Mullion.
Children from Duloe CE VA Junior & Infant School have been following the pre-production developments and will visit the set during the production week to see Nettlecatfish come to life!
We'll soon be setting up a film page with more details and images from the production.
The project is grateful to Duloe School, and the support of Creative Partnerships.
Funding success for new project
Thanks to South West Screen's Digital Archive Fund and FEAST, a new 18 month project will start in September 2009. The Tre Project (tre = home in Cornish) will connect rural villages across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly with the use of archive film material.
More info will be available on our website soon.
