Darxide Media Limited was created after a long association between Steve Heath and Film Producer Robert Watts developing Steve’s script and story.

Robert took a keen interest in Steve’s film after reading the script and has now agreed to be an Executive Producer for “Don’t Stop the Music”.

The story was inspired around events that took place in and around Worthing over several years when Steve was based here. These experiences have been amended and adapted to make an exciting watch for the cinema audience using the expert guidance provided by Robert Watts. I believe that a wide range of businesses, actors, musicians and the town of Worthing itself could benefit if the movie was filmed here.

Robert Watts

For a first script you have done well.

The passion needed for the character to succeed is evident.

You write good modern dialogue which keeps the story moving.

The story shows Danny’s journey and demonstrates what is required to overcome all the obstacles.

This film is now ready to be made. I want to be involved and happy to be an Executive Producer.

Film and TV productions can be a powerful way to add profile to a town or city, both at home and abroad. They can help to showcase a town’s natural and cultural assets, inform, inspire and influence travel decisions and help grow local visitor economies.

Broadchurch

After Broadchurch aired in 2013, 77% of local businesses saw an increase in sales. The official tourism site for Dorset ran many competitions based on Broadchurch which attracted visitors to the area. 47% of local businesses thought that their increase in numbers was due to Broadchurch.

Key Findings

International core screen tourism in England (outside of London) was worth between £100 million-£140 million in 2014. All eight locations at which surveys were carried were found to be attracting international or domestic visitors who said they would not have travelled there if they had not seen the associated film or television drama. 36.1% of all international tourists and 11.6% of all domestic tourists said that a film or TV production was the primary motivator for their visit. The value of these visits is significant combined with day-visit value of domestic core screen tourists, the best performing site saw £4.3 million total screen tourism spend annually.
