It’s always good to hear about new low budget Brit flicks, and now Holland Park Pictures has announced the cast for its debut feature film, Having You, written and directed by Sam Hoare. The cast features a selection of established and emerging British talent, including Anna Friel (Limitless), Romola Garai (The Hour) and Andy Buchan (Nowhere Boy). More cast members are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
The film tells the story of Jack (Buchan), a man whose life is shaken up by the arrival of a long forgotten one-night stand (Friel) and the subsequent shock introduction to his only son. The film shows the impact this new addition has on his existing relationships, most notably with his fiancée (Garai). It’ll shoot from April 16th to May 13th in various locations around London.
Holland Park Pictures is an interesting addition to the UK film landscape, which thinks of itself as more than just an independent film production company. Instead it’s a collection of filmmakers, actors and friends bought together through a mutual love for independent film. The company has focused to date on crafting powerful and provocative short films that primarily examine the transformative nature of human relationships, with Having You being its first feature production.
