Berrow
Beach to be transformed into movie set for Iraqi kidnap film
Part
of Berrow beach, near Burnham-On-Sea, is to be turned into a movie
set in May when an action-packed feature film about a hostage
situation in the Iraqi desert is filmed there.
 A
crew of ten people and three actors will descend on the beach
to film a 10-minute short film called 'The Cell'.
The
scenes will be shot on Saturday May 6th between 10am and 6pm and
will involve shots of a car moving, then being stopped and the
occupants inside being taken hostage.
Although
beach walkers hoping to catch a glimpse of Arnie or Tom Hanks
will be sadly disappointed, the Bristol University production
is still likely to be seen by many viewers around the country.
 Film
producer Rohan Kapoor (pictured right with director Ross Beamish)
told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "It will be shown at film festivals
across the UK and hopefully abroad too, so it will have quite
large audiences."
"Berrow
beach is perfect for us. We wanted to recreate the desert look
without actually travelling too far. Our director loved the look
of the beach. The desolate, dry appearance makes it ideal."
The
students are studying for an MA in Film and Television Production.
