Jul 20 2005
Director Andrea Arnold, who won an Oscar for her short film 'Wasp' earlier this year, is to make her feature-length debut with help from the UK Film Council's Development Fund.
Arnold has been given £10,962 to get 'Red Road' off the ground, one of six projects that the Council is helping to fund
A tale of obsession and forgiveness, the film stars Nathalie Press and Danny Dyer and is being co-produced by Lars von Trier's Zentropa Films and the Glasgow-based Sigma Films.
The Council has also awarded funds to Richard McBrien to adapt his successful TV film 'Trust' to the big screen, and Hattie Dalton, who having won a BAFTA for short film 'The Banker', plans to make her feature debut with 'Cry Out Loud'.
The other three films receiving funds from the Council are:
'Unscathed' – An adaptation of Major Phil Ashby's autobiography of the same name that dealt with his time in Sierra Leone on a peacekeeping mission.
'Planet Arse' – The story of a comic book artist who pretends to be disabled in order to woo the wheelchair-bound girl of his dreams.
'Samuel Pepys: An Unequalled Self' – A film version of Claire Tomalin's Pepys biography that explores the life and times of the legendary diarist.
