Ambleton Delight

Ambleton Delight is a 2009 British independent drama film. Filmed exclusively in East Sussex, UK it is directed by Brighton and Hove based Daniel Parkes, based on a script by Japanese writer Itsuka Yamasaki and Ben Rohde, produced by Sinad Ferguson and starring veteran Coronation Street actor Brian Capron.

It is a drama based on a true story, set in a small contemporary Sussex village by the name of Ambleton during the apple harvest season. When Ambleton is faced with a proposal for a nearby motorway, the mayor Brian Capron is quick to reject it in an effort to protect the tranquility of the village. However, forward thinking restaurant chef and councilor John Miller Jos Lawton embraces the proposal, seeing it as an opportunity to increase business. The ensuing standoff not only divides the community, but the ramifications ultimately lead to devastation and inspiration, as observed through the eyes of a young restaurant pianist and wouldbe filmmaker Michael Dyllan. The story resonates with themes of discrimination, youth unemployment and small town politics.From script development to production to final cut, Ambleton Delight was completed within a total ofnine months. Principal photography consisted of twelve separate shoot days, mostly nights and weekends, between November 2008 and January 2009. Second unit photography was completed in March 2009.
