On location with Eight Minutes Idle

This morning the Communications team at South West Screen were on the set of Eight Minutes Idle, the second of the three iFeatures films to start shooting in Bristol.

We were there to meet journalists from from the Bristol Evening Post and the BBC's Inside Out West. First up was an interview with Chris Moll, Executive Producer of the iFeatures project.

We were then led down the industrial concrete stairwell to take a look at the purpose-built call centre which is one of the main locations in the film.

After a brief stop for a bite to eat, we caught up with Director Mark Simon-Hewis who gave an insight into the process of bringing to life Matt Thorne's award-winning novel, Eight Minutes Idle.

After a brief rehearsal we then met Tom Hughes who plays Dan in the film. He told us what it's been like on set so far.

The Bottle Yard is impressive when it comes to scale, and slipping off to have a nose around, I came across some pretty unusual things.

More of that next time.
