About this Event

Rory and Dempsey Clarke attended one of our networking meetings and was blown away by the enthusiasm and talent in the room. After an energetic and successful read through of their script in London, the Clarke brothers organised the shoot in Duras, South of France. The location was a beautiful villa in France which would also serve as cast and crew accommodation. The brothers parents acted as the catering department and took wonderful care of everyone on set and made sure they wanted for nothing.

Inside the Event

The script was absolutely fantastic, the vShowcards talent were always on point and we all come together to produce a fantastic film. After wrapping each day, we all socialised by the pool and in the nearby town of Duras. We had a big impact on the locals who loved sharing their time with us. Make no mistake, this was a DREAM JOB!
