The New Brighton Pier recently came alive for the filming of a dramatisation for the Los Angeles, Venice Beach Pier.

Actors & Actresses filmed a scene for “OUR MAN IN CANNES - THE DAVID BLAKE STORY” an international documentary.

“The New Brighton Pier is an easy double to shoot for California; especially similar to the Venice Beach Fishing Pier, the actors & locals are amazing; & we had a Great Day!”
Sam Miller

“The true story of London native, David Blake; the man who attended the
Cannes Film Festival continuously since the student revolt of 1968.
Acting as Sales Agent he worked with many of the Greatest films of all
time; no one knows more about The Cannes Film Festival & how to get the
most of Cannes Film Festival than David Blake.” IMDB

The documentary film is set to air at the Cannes Film Festival in France in May - David Blake will be in attendance.
