Filming the very first scene of any film is always a tense and pressured time. No one is sure how it’s going to be, the actors are getting to know each other, the director is bonding with the cast, the camera and lighting team are setting up. Well imagine managing all this and in addition your first scene involves crawling around in a dark and cramped attic?! This is what the first scene of Lost Treasure in Jaywick involved. The actors were troopers and with the direction of Mollie-Ann Star it was a wrap after a few short takes!
