| Lead actor Sean Connolly in a still from the feature film 'BROKENHEAD' currently in production ... Nearly a week has passed since we entered PHASE TWO of Principal Photography on 'BROKENHEAD' .. It was a wonderfully intense shoot with the weather certainly playing it's part, thankfully in a good way! |
Spurn Point Lighthouse, East Yorkshire viewed from the beach ...
Strictly no spoilers, but I can reveal that there was some bare feet on sand action during the shoot. I can report that the sand was beautiful warm between the old toes, not too bad for April! The same could not be said of the chilly North Sea, fortunately no lengthy contact with the sea was required this time, now PHASE FOUR will be a different matter, aargghh!! Below is a picture from the beach footage to 'whet' the appetite, sorry!!

It was certainly worth the wait, it seemed to go on forever, the light changed almost by the minute. Here's a shot from that time ...
