The production is fortified by a team of proficient producers, including Rachel Richardson-Jones and Pierre Romain. Notably, the financing comes from private equity and UK’s film tax credit, a strategic combination fostering the film’s realization.
‘Past Life’ promises to deliver an enthralling blend of narrative and performance, with high expectations from its upcoming Manchester shoot.
