Development

Development of the film began in late 2019, with Guy Potter writing the script as a follow up to his micro-short Prey, a film created on assignment for Sundance Collab.[1] Intending to expand on the format of Prey, it was decided that Trengellick Rising should also be shot on Black & White 16mm film, and hand-processed in much the same way.[2] This became an integral part of the Trengellick Rising production, which was then placed on-hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In March 2021 it was decided that the film be performed entirely in Kernewek, or the Cornish language. The script was translated by Cornwall Council and the Trengellick Rising fundraising page was launched on Kickstarter.[3]

On the 1 April 2021, Trengellick Rising was successfully financed through Kickstarter, achieving 145% of its target. The project raised £6,550 from 103 different pledges from all over the world.[4]

Filming

On 1 August 2021, Principle Photography began on the film in some of the most remote parts of Cornwall. From the wilds of Bodmin Moor, to the Hartland Heritage Coast, to the real-life Jamaica Inn[5]
