Doctor Who stars Caitlin Blackwood and Frazer Hines will appear together in a new short drama from award winning and BAFTA nominated film director Ryan Hendrick.
Caitlin Blackwood played the young Amelia Pond in Doctor Who from 2010 to 2011, while Emmerdale actor Frazer Hines played the Second Doctor’s companion Jamie.
Sundown tells the story of William (Hines), a man in his 70s who is taken on a timeless journey through the eyes of Abi (Blackwood) to come to terms with his own mortality.
Caitlin Blackwood commented: “I think this project is important in terms of highlighting the issues the film delves in to, I have the opportunity to bring a youthful insight to a role that you’d normally expect to played by an older actor.”
Frazer Hines added: “Sundown is a beautiful script that really gives both myself and Caitlin the chance to really shine as two very real and complex characters.”
Director and co-writer Ryan Hendrick describes Sundown as “a story about how a person’s perception on life can change once they accept their own mortality. Our goal is to explore these ideas and try to give a subjective view from a fresh perspective.”
Producer David Newman said: “We’re planning to take this short film to the next level. We achieved a milestone in terms of production values on Perfect Strangers, so this time we need raise the bar even higher. This is why we are launching a crowd funding campaign on indiegogo. We have the workings of a beautiful film with an excellent and well loved pair of actors. I have high hopes for Sundown.”
Sundown will begin filming this summer.
