Julie Baines – Making Movies Happen

Film producer Julie Baines has been striving for years to bring her film ‘Four Kids and It’ to the big screen.

British film producer Julie Baines knows all about long lead times. She often has to work for years to get a project financed before any filming can happen at all. For over six years, Julie has been fighting to bring ‘Four Kids and It’, a script she loves, from page to screen. The story is based on the hugely popular children’s writer Jacqueline Wilson’s retelling of the 1902 book ‘Five Children and It’.

When we first meet Julie in March 2017, filming is scheduled to start in just a few months but there are still deals to be done and actors to be cast. Film stars including Academy Award winner Michael Caine are on board and the locations have been earmarked but will the money start flowing in time for filming to begin?

Film director Joseph Adesunloye follows Julie through the ups and downs of wrangling with lawyers and financiers as she works to get the cameras rolling.

Produced by Hilary Dunn and Karl Bos for ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ World Service.
