Jam and Jerusalem meets lights, camera, action

Screenwriter Jan Birley wants her new film to celebrate Yorkshire and women who triumph over adversity

Two seaside villages in East Yorkshire have been chosen as locations for a new feature film.

Hotflash follows an accidental entrepreneur who succeeds despite the challenges of being a single mum in the grip of the menopause.

Scenes will be filmed at the Flamborough Women's Insitute hall and the Bondville Model Village in Sewerby.

Jan Birley, the writer of the film said her upbringing in Yorkshire had been an inspiration as "it's such a beautiful place to live".

Hot Flash follows Geri, a single mum in her 40's who is coming out of a marriage and dealing with menopause symptoms whilst trying to rebuild her life.

The film has been dubbed a "celebration of older women" and a tale of triumph over adversity.

Rachel Hill, the owner of Bondville Model Village which will provide a backdrop for some of the scenes said: "It definitely resonates with me. I did something really crazy in my forties by buying a model village but have no regrets."

The film will star former Coronation Street and Emmerdale actress Gaynor Faye alongside ex-Hollyoaks actor James Atherton.

Production on the film is expected to start in January and released in cinemas in October.
