Filming has wrapped on the latest comedy feature from UK writer-director Jamie Adams, which has a working title of Or Something Like It, and stars UK comedian Julia Davis and Screen Star of Tomorrow 2022, Harry Trevaldwyn.
It is set in a sleepy coastal town in south Wales, and follows an arthouse filmmaker’s trials and tribulations as she attempts to give a masterclass. Davis plays the filmmaker, while Trevaldwyn stars as the event organiser she collides with.
The film is produced by Ianthe Bathurst for UK outfit Horizon Film Productions, with Blue Finch Films handling worldwide sales, and Blue Finch’s Mike Chapman and Fatima Hayward executive producing.
The cast also features Oliver Cooper, Mary Beth Barone, Nick Helm, Richard Elis, Kelly Wenham and newcomer Harriet Chomley.
It is shot in an improvisational style typical of Adams’ work, and is the first of three features he is directing that are inspired by the Dogme 95 filmmaking movement. The movement was started by Danish directors Lars von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg in 1995 and eschews use of elaborate special effects. Adams’ previous credits include Edinburgh premiere Black Mountain Poets and Tribeca title Love Spreads.
