A new feature length film, with an international cast, is being shot in Folkestone this week.

The movie from Memory Box Films titled "Everyone's Going To Die" is a platonic love story with a comic twist.

Starring German actress, Nora Tschirner, Rob Knighton, Stirling Gallagher and Madeline Duggan, it tells the story of a man, who returns to his seaside hometown for the first time in years, with a job to do and a dead brother to visit.

It is there that he meets a young, French woman who is having her own crisis of confidence. Their lives collide, and nothing will ever be the same again.

Described as "Lost In Translation" meets "Before Sunset", it's a slice of romantic, offbeat Indie on the English coast.

Scenes, involving drama students from the Folkestone University Centre as background artistes, were filmed in Googies Bar in the town on Monday. On Tuesday the crew moved to the Quarterhouse restaurant. Wednesday night the crew were in Folkestone Harbour shooting scenes in which a woman jumps into the sea.

"Everyone's Going to Die" is directed by Max Barron and Michael Woodward, and produced by Kelly Broad a former journalist who produced the BBC short "One of Those Days" starring Derek Jacobi.
