Going west

Arts lovers pining for Artsdaddy Alan Yentob (no upcoming editions of ..imagine.. scheduled, though there's one in the can with poet Lemn Sissay) should soon have an opportunity to see daughter Bella on the big screen.

She plays Clarissa Hawkins in British-made-Mexican-themed-shot-in-Spain western Dry River, now in post-production. The cast includes veteran tv and film actor Michael Moriarty, who was in Clint Eastwood's Pale Rider and Ann Mitchell, most recently seen as Elsie Dyer in Call The Midwife. It was shot over four weeks last autumn, and now awaits tweaking and a soundtrack from former Cure drummer Jason Cooper.

It's directed by Daniel Simpson, who brought us Hangar 10 and The Rendlesham UFO Incident. Bella has dabbled with modelling, writing and shorter videos since her degree course at Manchester University.
