A town has turned out in force to support a 19-year-old film-maker ahead of his new film being released on a major streaming platform.<\/p>\n
Rupert Harold from Cromer in Norfolk has made his second feature film and has set his sights on becoming the youngest director to win an Oscar.<\/p>\n
His film, Crecista, is a rags to riches story filmed across locations in Norfolk, Lake Como, Milan and Naples and features helicopters, sports cars and a yacht, all within a \u00a32,000 budget. The film will be streamed on Amazon Prime.<\/p>\n
He said: “The film was received so well I felt such an overwhelming feeling of support and just a great community feel… I don’t think it could have gone better.”<\/p>\n
The red carpet was rolled out on Cromer Pier on Tuesday for a debut screening of the film ahead of its release on Saturday. <\/p>\n
He said: “The premiere was absolutely amazing, we had about 400 people there.<\/p>\n
“We had supercars, a Ferrari, a Porsche, Rolls Royce and a Corvette there which was crazy.”<\/p>\n
Crecista, follows a struggling British man who builds a fortune by illegally selling classified government information. <\/p>\n
Harold said Cromer Pier features in the film as does central Norwich. <\/p>\n
He added: “We also have Blakeney, we have some of the marshes and various shots in Sheringham and we have Sheringham Little Theatre there as well.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A town has turned out in force to support a 19-year-old film-maker ahead of his new film being…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":798976,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-798975","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/798975","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=798975"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/798975\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/798976"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=798975"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=798975"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=798975"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
