Lime Pictures enters the vertical drama space
With more than 30 years’ experience in producing content for global audiences, Lime Pictures has continued to develop new ways of reaching viewers across platforms.
Vertical drama is a natural progression for Lime, drawing on the pace and storytelling skills required to produce continuing drama, while adapting them for a format designed specifically for mobile audiences.
Revenge Is A Dish is produced by Julia Carstairs and directed by Angelo Abela, Lime Pictures’ Co-Head of Scripted, Kids & Family. Director of Photography is Adonis Anthony.
Abela said: “We have enjoyed the process of producing both films in this genre, we’ve learned a lot about this new and exciting format and are excited to see the audience response. Verticals cross skillset with soap as they require pacey storytelling, huge hooks and from cast and crew, the ability to shoot a high volume of high-drama scenes, with limited rehearsal time.”
He added:
“So, it was a natural progression for Lime to move into this genre, based on our history in continuing drama and ability to offer high production values and provide duty of care to all, with L16 Studios for post-production.”
Revenge Is A Dish
Paige has staged her way into the Rochat family. Her plan is to destroy the family who stole everything from hers. But when she finds herself falling for the heir, her plans become increasingly complicated.
Revenge Is A Dish centres on Deveraux (Luke Delaney), the charismatic and gifted Head Chef of the acclaimed Rochat restaurant, whose carefully controlled world is disrupted by the arrival of Paige (Kharla Corley), a seemingly sweet new American busgirl with a hidden agenda.
Paige has entered the powerful Rochat family with one goal: revenge. But as her plan begins to unfold, her unexpected attraction to Deveraux threatens to derail everything.
A new trailer for the series has also been released, offering a first look at the characters, relationships and secrets at the heart of the drama.
