Movie Filming taking place on the Estuary at Bishopsteignton

The Estuary has been a hive of activity over recent days with filming taking place for a new movie being shot on location in and around the area. Details are scarce but we believe, the production crew from London are being led by a local writer/director Ben Bond who is originally from the area.

The movie has the working title “The Drifters” and is about a young couple in their 20’s who move down to Devon, escaping the city life in London. Although all is not as perfect as it seems and their past eventually catches up with them!

Filming has been taking place down at Luxton Steps this week over at the famous local Red Rock Landmark! Local estuary resident “Ed” who has lived down by the estuary for 30 years seemed pleased that they had chosen to shoot in the area during the glorious weather we are currently enjoying! It will really show the area in a fantastic light!

The hope is that they can release this low-budget film into the cinemas early next year or alternatively on a movie streaming platform such as Netflix.

Filming moves back to Teignmouth in the next few days!
