The Beachcombers
Divided by the stunning and vast expanse of water that is London’s River Thames, a young pair of shy beachcombers are united by their fixation with metal detecting in search of rare antiquities. They soon strike up a sweet and unique connection across the water and build up a language of signs and signals with which they are able communicate daily, but when one of the pair stumbles across a chance discovery, it finally gives them the ideal opportunity to cross over the river.
The Beachcombers is a quirky, heart-warming tale of friendship and love, set against the backdrop of modern day London.
The film was funded by Southern Film Exposure in conjunction with Film London, and from the hundreds of projects that applied for funding across the capital, 42 were approved and filmed.
The Beachcombers received its premiere at the London International Film Festival 2008 and has also won the Viewers Choice Award at the BoBs (Best of Borough) held at BAFTA and supported by ITV and Film London. It is currently under UK distribution by Brit Shorts.
Shot on 16mm on location in London in 2008, the film stars Rasmus Hardiker ("Saxondale", "Lead Balloon") and Charity Wakefield ("Rapunzel", "Casualty 1907") and was Written and Directed by Chris Croucher and Mark Beynon and was supported and funded by the Lewisham Film Initiative and Film London.
