Storyline

A girl dressed in 14th century garb is discovered lifeless in a darkened farm barn. Adopted by the farmer and his family, the girl begins to notice something strange. She doesn't appear to get older! Upon the death of her adopted parents, she is accused of witchery and chased from the village. Some years later she is discovered again, lifeless, her back punctured and covered with dried blood. She is awoken by voices from the past and the strange reminder of something she has held close all this time.  She doesn't remember her life before, but the way ahead becomes suddenly clear.

​

Community led production with a professional industry cast and crew supported by local skills and talent.  Short film format (15 to 20 minutes run time), with local public screenings to be scheduled for late 2024, including film festivals, with a view to raising additional funding for a full feature film production in 2026/27.  Filming of The Barn took place in Chichester, West Sussex, UK in April 2024, with post-production now underway.

​

More details will emerge here in the coming weeks of the production, screening and film festivals.
