Sunshine, was a short musical theatre film we created during lockdown using the well known and loved music of The Proclaimers.
Sunshine tells a poignant and uplifting story where we dream about a return to performing together. For so many in the arts community, the possibility of coming together again as cast and crew was such an unknown as we returned to UK wide lockdowns. Ultimately, we realise what we can create together in a socially distanced way and the happiness and positivity that performance can bring.
Filming Sunshine began in August 2020, and was of course met with multiple challenges as lockdown levels increased during the autumn of 2020. Sunshine Director Tri Cumming shared “We were ready to film our big finale when lockdown rules were increased. We hoped that rules would be relaxed, but when it became obvious that wasn’t going to happen we adapted the script so we could keep filming in line with all guidance. The final product however is probably more poignant and personal as the story follows all of our experiences during the last few months.”
Sunshine Producer and Pantheon President, David Robertson shared “This has been an amazing project. The singing has all been recorded in the cast’s homes and all brought together to produce this fantastic soundtrack. Most of the filming then had to be done by the cast on their own and we then had to edit everything together in a cohesive way to tell our story. The final product is a joy to watch and something we are very proud of.”
Directed by Tri Cumming Sunshine is an original piece of theatre with well known music arranged by Chris Pugh and choreographed by Lynne Bustard. Videography was created Iain Bell & the entire cast and edited by Iain Bell.
