Never mind Bethemoviestar’s Street Voodoo - The Midnight Drives is a much better name for a film, ain’t it? Helmed by Cornish writer/director Mark Jenkin and produced by Truro-based production-types o-region, the flick’ll be shooting on location in Cornwall in March.

The film tells the tale of a divorced dad, whose fiery determination to enjoy the limited time he has with his brats leads to a strained week of damp accommodation, dodging the rain and ‘enjoying’ some rigidly-scheduled fun. That’d be where Cornwall comes in then.

As part of the project, o-region has set up a beezer new website, where D+Cineastes can keep up with all the machinations of the movie’s production. And pretty sexy it all looks too, with blogs, photos, downloads, podcasts - yes, the whole enchilada.

In fact, the Midnight Drives team seem to be doing everything right - the polar opposite to bethemoviestar.com’s wrongheaded shenanigans.

We’re proper excited about the flick, so stay tuned to D+CFilm for more Midnight Drives news.
