Overview
- The production of 'Angels in the Asylum,' a £5 million historical drama, has been on hold since February due to a funding shortfall midway through filming.
- Producers Rob Sorrenti and Heather Greenwood claim second-round financing failed to materialize, leaving around 150 crew members unpaid and suppliers out of pocket.
- The film's distributor, Parkland Pictures, denies any agreement to provide financing beyond its role as a sales agent, further complicating the financial dispute.
- Crew members are owed at least £600,000 in wages, with some pursuing legal claims supported by unions such as Bectu and Equity.
- Producers continue to explore financing options to resolve outstanding debts and complete the film, which highlights the historical injustices faced by women confined in 1930s mental asylums.
