Dan Bronzite Shadows Director on Ch4’s A Woman of Substance

Dan had the fantastic opportunity last month to shadow his director friend and Directors UK Inspire HETV mentor Richard Senior for a week on the set of Channel 4’s remake of “A Woman of Substance”.

“It was an amazing experience and I’m very grateful to all involved for allowing me to be a part of it.” said Dan who had been on set in Leeds for Block 3. The week-long shadowing was primarily for Episode 6 though as is the nature of HETV series productions, some scenes from eps 7 and 8 were also part of the shoot.

The Forge Entertainment’s “A Woman of Substance” production was commissioned by Channel 4 who also produced the original 1980s classic adaptation of Barbara Taylor Bradford’s novel starring Deborah Kerr, Jenny Seagrove, Liam Neeson and Barry Bostwick.

The latest production stars Brenda Blethyn as Emma Harte and Jessica Reynolds as the younger version of the iconic character — an impoverished ambitious maid in Yorkshire, England 1911 who goes on a dizzying journey to become the world’s richest woman.
