All of the scenes in this movie will be filmed in Kent, UK.
Ideally we would like talent to live in or near Kent due to the remoteness of the trench location.
Please note that Somme16 is a low-budget independent project and any profits made from the sales will go to the Royal British Legion and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Therefore all advertised roles (cast and crew) will be unpaid. We will however cover all associated talent costs including travel, food and accomodation (basic accomodation will be provided on-site).
We abide by all local ‘working with children’ regulations. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
