Rose of Nevada: Cornwall's Time-Travel Tale

0:00On April 8th, Mark Jenkins' latest film, Rose of Nevada, just had its first preview in the Cornish fishing town of Newland, and the local crowd was all. In super supportive during the screening and Q&A, Jenkins, who's no stranger to acclaim after his baff to winning bait, and the creepy Ennisman, felt a bit nervous showing it to folks he knows so well. This ghostly time travel story follows a Cornish fishing boat crew slipping through Eras, shot entirely on 16mm film in local harbors, like Haley and Mollion using a real working vessel. It's already landing killer early reviews, and snagged the cover of sight and sound magazines may issue, which Jenkins can't stop sharing online. Jenkins stresses putting Cornwall front and center, not his backdrop, but the heart of the tale. Betting global audiences will connect even without, knowing the place. He returned home from London years ago to a thriving grassroots cinema scene, including gems like Newland's art house spot in an old fish cellar proof, cinemas alive, and kicking.

Screen Cornwall calls it a big win for regional stories, spotlighting other hits like the Cornish language pole pre and rising talents, I and N, exciting boom time for filmmakers putting their hometowns on the map.
