A TALENTED local script writer is premiering a 10-minute short film called Empty in Cleethorpes tonight (MONDAY).
Karen Richardson, of Cottagers Plot, Laceby, will present the film at the premises of Cleethorpes Camera Club in the resort's Reynolds Street at 7.30pm.
The film is an original idea and has been made by a new local film company, WW Productions.
It stars local actress Sara Beasley and singer and actor Peter Lee Crookes.
All the production team, extras and actors have given their time for free and the film has been shot locally at various venues such as the Discovery Centre, Cleethorpes Promenade and Great Limber Church.
It will be entered in national film competitions and festivals and Karen hopes that it will bring extra publicity for herself as a writer and for the production team.
She said: "The film is a little bit different and there are lots of flashbacks.
"We are all very proud of the film and hopefully it will get the success it deserves.
"I have been involved in the filming all the way along and I am really excited about it. It's going to be entered in to film festivals and competitions.
"I have written a two-hour TV drama, which actually got me a meeting with Hilary Salmon, one of the executive producers for BBC drama productions in London."
Karen is a former pupil of Reynolds Street School, Cleethorpes, and Lindsey School, in the resort.
"The main reason I got in to writing was I did a professional writing degree at Grimsby College," she said.
"I have never stopped writing and trying to get opportunities since."
The camera club premises are between 49 and 51 Reynolds Street.
