Egghead panellist CJ De Mooi has swapped the trivia for a role as the protagonist in the film.

Beth Norwood from Beyond The Bar said: “The Renata Road was shot entirely in the North West, with all crew from/connected to the North West, all cast the same and all props and locations.

“We wanted to create a film for the local area, involving the local area. We also raised a significant portion of our budget through crowdfunding on Kickstarter, gaining support from local Northerners.”

More than £10,000 was pledged through the website Kickstarter which helps fund local projects.

The filming takes place in various locations across Preston from Thursday 5 June to Monday 9 June.
