Hot British comedy movie to be filmed at Sewerby venue
Grange Farm Cottages in Sewerby has partnered with Hot Flash – a British comedy filming exclusively in Yorkshire next year.
Hot Flash tells the story of an accidental entrepreneur who triumphs despite imposter syndrome, brutal menopause symptoms, and the challenges of being a 40-plus single mum.
The business offers award-winning, family-owned holiday accommodation on the Flamborough Headland Heritage Coast.
It will provide some of its properties to the film’s production team – for both location filming and cast accommodation.
Hot Flash’s writer and producer Jan Birley, who hails from Scarborough and now lives in Flamborough, said: “We’re thrilled that another partner organisation has joined us.
"As a small – predominantly Yorkshire – team, it’s important that we work with businesses which are independent, family-run, and as passionate as we are about putting the beautiful East Yorkshire Coast on the map where it belongs.”
A Grange Farm Cottages spokesperson said: “Sewerby is often overlooked but it’s a stunning part of the world.
“Working with Jan and the film is a really powerful way to highlight it. Our quintessentially Yorkshire cottages are the perfect backdrop for the story, and we’re excited to see filmmaking come to our corner of the Coast!”
Hot Flash has been described as ‘a love letter to Yorkshire’.
As well as Jan, who wrote A Very Yorkshire Christmas, which is shown on Channel 5 each year, Sheffield music producer Eliot Kennedy is writing the score.
His first global songwriting success, the Spice Girls smash hit single ‘Say You’ll Be There,’ was followed by a string of major hits. His song ‘Never Gonna Break My Faith’ was awarded a Grammy award and performed by Aretha Franklin and Mary J Blige.
