'Beneath Still Water' is based on the legend of Blake Mere pool, which can be found high on the moors that surround Leek.
Legend tells of a mermaid living within the murky waters of the pool, and that she has a habit of luring men into the water who are then never to be seen again.
Written and produced by Steven K Beattie and produced/directed by Philip Kempson of CM Productions, Beneath Still Water is a 2016 independent film; shot on a budget of £2000.
We are also lucky enough to have the exceptional music talents of Jude Cann Hunt. Jude is an Australia-born composer living in the UK. A classically-trained pianist (private training) she also began composing at a young age and was particularly inspired by visual imagery.
Her introduction to the film industry began in her mid teens, as an actress. Combining her dual interests in film and music Jude gained her B.A.
in English (majoring in Film-making, specializing in Sound) from W.A.I.T (Western Australian Institute of Technology) in 1979.
Under her maiden name of Judith Cann, Jude's professional body of work includes: 26 tracks now published by Universal (library/Production mu-sic), 175 tracks now published by Chappell (Library/Production music), with an IMDb listing for her library tracks used in "Spongebob Squarepants".
Her film music credits include "Oilman" (1/2 hour drama starring Martin Shaw 1985), numerous documentary and corporate films (BBC, Meridian Television, Tandem Film and TV Productions, Eastwest Films). Awards : STEMRA 1994 (Holland).

The film will soon be live on YouTube - Summer 2017 - but for now you can still watch the historical short ''Blakemere'. This is a 25min short, using only the historical footage shot for 'Beneath Still Water'!
