- BRINGING GUERNSEY TO A WORLDWIDE AUDIENCE -
In 2020 Rêvasser Films (producers Lars Janssen & Charlotte Dawn Potter) launched the local production division Guernsey Filmworks. Our mission is to produce feature films set in Guernsey, the Channel Islands to be seen by a worldwide audience.
By producing and filming films in the Channel Islands we can directly contribute to the local economy and create exposure for Guernsey.
Through the process of film production and filming we are able to engage locals to be part of the movie magic. We encourage locals to audition or apply to be a crew member. Students can apply to become an intern on the productions, giving them the opportunity to learn filmmaking first-hand and develop their skills. Therefore we hope to inspire the younger generation of Guernsey to pursue filmmaking.
