The Lady of the Lakes. Aerial filming provided by Skylark Aerial Photography.
A trailer for the upcoming short film ‘The Lady of the Lakes’ directed by Olivia Frost.
As a result, for her MA degree, Olivia Frost is in the process of making a short self-funded film called ‘The Lady of the Lakes’ which will be pitched and shown to members of the BBC’s Natural History Unit. This film will represent the life of the true Beatrix Potter, including exploration of her important relationship with nature, which enabled the protection of one of the UK’s most treasured landscapes.
Beatrix Potter is famous worldwide; almost everyone knows of her beautiful storybooks and delicate watercolours, but what most people sadly don’t realise is that Beatrix’s work far exceeded that which was captured on paper. A brave, bold, independent and forward-thinking woman, Beatrix Potter was also a key conservationist who defied the rigid conventions of her middle-class Victorian life in order to fight for and protect the beautiful Lake District landscapes which she loved.
The film will be a re-enactment documentary drama supported by factual information. It will showcase
Olivia’s hero, Beatrix Potter, as depicted in her film
the beauty of British landscapes and wildlife and will accurately represent some key Lake District traditions, such as the maintenance of the hardy and beautiful Herdwick sheep.
