Film Locations to work with Guard Brothers on movie

In the latest of our work with industry heavyweights, Film Locations has teamed up with some of the UK's brightest directorial talents, the Guard brothers. We have been appointed to provide film location and site assistance to their upcoming new take on the classic Swallows and Amazons, the classic story of growing up and summer holiday adventures from the pen of British writer Arthur Ransome.

With Film Locations having ready access to some of the finest countryside, rural retreat and beautiful open water settings in the country, we were the natural choice for the Guard brothers, who quite rightly demanded the very best for their modern filming of the novel, the first major adaptation since Theatre Projects filmed a version in 1974 in the Lake District in Cumbria.

Our books are stuffed full with ideal locations for projects which require filming across lakes, open countryside, valleys, hills and forests - all locations which the young summer adventurers in Swallows and Amazons encounter during their rite of passage tales. As well as providing assistance in terms of location advice and access and availability, Film Locations will provide assistance to the shooting crew where necessary.

Previous work from the Guard Brothers includes smash hit horror The Uninvited, plus various film shorts and TV adverts and promotional shoots, so Film Locations are proud to be working with British film directors of good standing and doing our bit to be a part of the rise in British film-making. Stay tuned for updates about what could be the next big hit for children to come from talented UK film-makers.
