Despite filming in Kent which has plenty of coast line the director Dominic Dromgoole, whose first feature this is, insisted on taking the unit up to Redcar in Cleveland to make use of the sea view there. About 3 days of filming was done in 29 Granville Terrace's front room which looks out onto the beach and sea. Visiting the location and speaking to one of the crew I was told that Dominic wanted to film at Redcar as he'd had something to do with Atonement (2007) which was partly filmed there. In fact he's credited with 'Thanks'.
In the screenplay a Redcar mum is told that her son has died in the Falklands. The film crew needed a Redcar home with a sea view from the living room - hence Granville Terrace.
