IT is not every day that an independent business gets approached by a film company asking to shoot at their premises.
But that is exactly what happened at Nirvana Coffee Shop in Lowfield Lane, Waterside Village.
The café was approached by production firm Unlimited Motion Ltd, who asked if they could use the premises for a shoot.
Nirvana is owned by Simon Pye, along with wife Lindsey, from Sutton Manor, who runs the premises.
The filming took place at Nirvana on Sunday, February 13 for a movie called Every Legend Ends.
“We got a phone call from a company called Unlimited Motion Limited, they said they wanted to film a shot for a film they’re making,” said Simon, also a chef in Liverpool.
“We agreed to it and they came on the Sunday (February 13) and did it, they spent the whole day.”
Simon added: “It is quite a novelty getting a phone call saying they wanted to come and film and shoot. We weren’t sure what production it would be but we thought ‘why not?’”
What is Every Legend Ends?
A micro-budget movie, 'Every Legend Ends' is described online as “an exhilarating action-horror film, and also the world’s first micro-budget motion capture feature film – featuring epic battles, hidden secrets and a monster that will wreak havoc on our unsuspecting world”.
It is said to be “a world first” as an “exciting, independent film that unleashes the power of motion capture to help tell its tale”.
Currently in production around the north west of England, it is said “this is a film that uses today’s innovative tech – the same mocap principles that power the world’s most famous blockbusters – to bring this vicious creature to life”.
It is also said: “The story of this film’s creation is a compelling tale in its own right. It’s a project that has already excited interest from some of the smartest minds in independent film.
“By unlocking the potential of this technology, the film’s creators are showing that motion capture isn’t just for the big players. It’s for everyone. And in their hands, it becomes an experience you won’t want to miss”.
A synopsis for the film reads: “The town of Anghenfil is full of stories: they are tales that hint at its stormy, magical past.
"And when a long dormant monster is freed after centuries trapped in a hidden cavern, the town once again finds itself at the mercy of a raging, ferocious enemy”.
