Kingston Bagpuize and Southmoor is an amazing village in the Vale of the White Horse near Oxford that has recently finished making a full-length Hollywood-style feature film.

Tortoise in Love is a full length romantic comedy written and directed by Guy Browning with the locations, the organisation, most of the finance and many of the parts supplied by members of the community.

The project attracted lots of news coverage during the filming. Tortoise in Love recently featured on the One Show on BBC1 where Gyles Brandreth said it was enchanting - a curious cross between Calendar Girls and The Full Monty.

Meanwhile the team is seeking a UK distributor for the film and beginning to attend international festivals to take it to market overseas.

Making any film is a major logistical exercise. Most of the activity takes place behind the camera, preparing the shots, making the costumes, finding the locations, keeping everyone well fed and the whole crew and cast happy and informed at all times.
