LevelK has acquired world sales rights to Ruth Platt’s British ghost story Martyrs Lane, writes ScreenDaily, who also shares the film’s first photo.
The supernatural story is about a 10-year old girl living in a vicarage and confronting her deepest fear, that her mother doesn’t love her.
Denise Gough (Colette, The Other Lamb) stars alongside Steven Cree (Outlaw King) and newcomers Kiera Thompson and Sienna Sayer.
“Ghosts are fragments of information, of memory, of pain maybe too great to be born, clues to suppressed truth – and Leah – with her open, inquiring mind, is in pursuit of the truth,“ said Platt, whose previous features are The Lesson and The Black Forest, which premiered at Edinburgh 2019.
Christine Alderson and Katie Hodgkin produce for Ipso Facto Productions (Snow in Paradise, This Beautiful Fantastic).
