“In mid-April of this year, crews were seen preparing a Christmas set in and around Kelvinside Hillhead Parish Church in Hyndland, Glasgow, with fake snow being placed on the ground outside and Christmas trees being propped up at the altar inside the church,” states iftn.ie, one of the outlets first reporting the news.
Midwinter Break is being produced by Guy Heeley for British firm Shoebox Films. The project was developed with Film4, which executive-produced and co-financed the movie. Protagonist Pictures is in charge of its world sales.
“Championing the most exciting feature debuts by new filmmakers like Polly is steeped in Protagonist’s DNA. Lesley and Ciarán are some of the top talents of their generation and are the perfect pair to bring this emotionally intricate exploration of universal relationship dynamics to life. Guy has assembled such a great team, and we know that cinema-going audiences will immediately connect to this high-quality drama when it hits theatres,” commented Protagonist Pictures CEO Dave Bishop.
The release date is yet to be disclosed.
