The Search For Gillian Gold — Feature Film Now In Development And Currently Crowdfunding

Independent filmmaker Stuart Wheeldon announces the development of a new feature film, The Search For Gillian Gold, a mystery-thriller set against the strange, uneasy landscape of rural Derbyshire. Inspired by real archival work, unexplained lights, and the quiet tension of small communities, the film follows an archivist who begins to investigate the disappearance of a journalist—only to uncover a story that was never meant to be recorded. The project is currently open for crowdfunding, inviting audiences and supporters of independent cinema to become early backers and help bring the film to the screen. Funds raised will support production costs, casting, locations and post-production.

“The Search For Gillian Gold is a film about people who disappear between the cracks — and the way institutions quietly archive the inconvenient. It’s intimate, unsettling, and rooted in the landscapes and histories I grew up around. Crowdfunding allows us to keep creative control and make the film the way it needs to be made — without compromise.” Casting is currently in progress, with roles for both local and national actors. Shooting is scheduled to take place in Derbyshire, maintaining the film’s authentic sense of place. Drawing from art-house cinema, investigative thrillers and eerie British realism, The Search For Gillian Gold looks to join the growing wave of independent British films questioning how stories are told — and who decides what is remembered.
