The first feature film to be shot and set in Bristol for 60 years has premiered in the city - and is now expanding to other cinemas across the country.
The Fence was made by 27-year-old film-maker Will Stone and filmed and set in Hartcliffe last August, and is now becoming something of a sleeper hit in cinemas. It was due to show for a week at Showcase in Cabot Circus and Avonmeads, but has proved so popular that screenings there have been extended into a third week.
The movie was a feature-length version of a short film made by Will, inspired by stories from his father about growing up in Hartcliffe in the 1980s. It follows a teenager trying to get his stolen motorbike back, and stars David Perkins and This Country's Paul Cooper.
