Farms on Film
The Alexander family in Kent have diversified into location work for films and photoshoots. Charlotte Smith visits their farm on a day a Hollywood movie has taken over the barns!
It's not every farm you visit that you'll bump into the action film star, Jason Statham. But when Charlotte Smith visits Castle Farm in Kent, that's exactly what happens!
The Alexander family have diversified into location work for films, TV and photoshoots and when Charlotte arrives a Hollywood movie is being filmed in the barn. For Lorna, who arranged the shoot, it's an exciting new string to the family business. For her brother, Crispin, it means plans to cut silage that day have had to change.
In this programme, Charlotte explores the set and finds out what hosting a film crew really means. She also meets Jo Thompson, who set up 'Farm Locations' - an agency which matches farms with industry location scouts. She's the one who helped Castle Farm get this job.
