Swimming with Men eyes late spring shoot
A new feature film starring Rob Brydon about the world of synchronised swimming is set to shoot in late spring next year.
As reported on Screen International, Swimming with Men is inspired by the documentary Men Who Swim, and will be directed by Oliver Parker from a screenplay by Aschlin Ditta.
Stewart Le Marechal and Anna Mohr-Pietsch of Met Film are producing alongside Maggie Monteith. There is a sizeable team of executive producers including Paul Webster and Guy Heeley of Shoebox Films.
