Great by name and according to location scouts, great by nature. Yes, Britain is swiftly becoming a top destination for movie productions. During the summer, we reported how the Loch Ness and its surrounding area are luring film crews north of the border with the likes of The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep enjoying some Scottish hospitality and now they’ve fallen under the spell of Wales with the amount of money spent on film and TV in the country having quadrupled over the past five years. Much of this economic boost to the area is due to top BBC shows Doctor Who and Torchwood, but there have been films such as this year’s The Edge of Love that have helped put Wales on the movie map.
So, why has Wales become such a hotspot? According to producer Sally Hibbin who recently worked on Robert Carlyle drama...

Parallax Entertainment
LONDON -- Directed and co-written by John Furse and produced by Sally Hibbin for her new Parallax Entertainment company, "Blind Faith" is a wholly believable and deeply moving story of two men who help each other survive in the direst circumstances. It's hard to imagine it will reach a wide audience, but those who seek it out will be rewarded with a film of great resonance.
Based on a true story and the recollections of the two men concerned, it tells of Irish teacher Brian Keenan and English journalist John McCarthy, who were held hostage in Lebanon for more than four years in the 1980s. Each has written about his experiences and their recollections in the script by Furse and Keenan. It is brilliantly unsentimental and succeeds in not only eschewing politics but also in not demonizing the pair's captors.
The film focuses tightly on the two men. Keenan is simply bundled into the trunk of a big car one night and thrown into a room. Fed minimally, interrogated and made to wear a blindfold whenever his jailers enter his space, Keenan hears nothing except the screams of those being beaten and shot down the corridor.
Months later, McCarthy is thrown into his cell and then begins an extraordinary story of human strength and solidarity as they are moved from one place to another and suffer beatings and deprivation. Among the cruelest things is a kindness from the guards in showing McCarthy a videotape of his mother sending a greeting, not knowing where he is or if he's alive.
Ian Hart as Keenan and Linus Roache as McCarthy give memorably unadorned performances as the incarcerated pair, and the supporting cast matches them.
