Halfway through 2024!

We’re almost halfway into the year, and what a success it has been for BH_Movies so far! We started the year with the release of two films; To England, With Love and Played & Betrayed, both released across the globe in February.

“this is a brief, breezy, diverting watch, with appealing leads and comedic fun amid the love story.”

March saw us taking a trip north to Manchester Film Festival for the world premiere of Die Before You Die, a psychological thriller produced in 2021 by the team behind BH_Movies. It is an honour to be chosen out of the many incredible features screened for both the Jury Prize and the award for Best Director. We are very excited to see where Die Before You Die will find it’s home.

A Merry Royal Christmas!

Not soon after, we kicked off production on our fourth feature film as a company. A Merry Royal Christmas marks our third collaboration with Reel One Entertainment, and we welcomed Canadian actress, Kathryn Davis, to the UK to play our charming lead. The story follows Felicity (Kathryn Davis) flying to the UK from New York City with her daughter, Junie (Marley Quinlan-Gardner), to plan a prestigious royal wedding for Princess Juliette (Rebecca Finch) at Christmas. Through the paparazzi disasters, the mischief of a teenage daughter, and even a fencing duel, Felicity and brother-of-the-bride Prince Vincent (Riley Neldam) are pulled closer and closer together. A Merry Royal Christmas is set for international release this upcoming holiday season; be sure to follow us on social media for regular updates and more behind the scenes action!

On this latest production, we utilised locations based in and managed by the Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole council, such as Bournemouth Town Hall and Upton Country Park. These, as well as almost 200 other locations, will be accessible to view and book through the council’s brand new film location database!

For the past few months, BH_Movies have been assisting the council in the setting up of this database, including filming and photographing locations in the area that are open to filming. The database is set to launch towards the end of summer.

If you have or know of a location within the BCP area you believe would be perfect for Film, TV, or photography, please get in touch.
