Island Stories | Episode 2 – Lisa Henry
- Island Life
Spence Willard are proud to support Island Stories,
bringing you the unique stories of those that live
on the Isle of Wight
This week on the podcast we chat with film location specialist Lisa Henry who lives in Ryde, having moved here from London just three years ago. She describes her new life in Ryde as: “Absolutely brilliant – it’s a really vibrant place… it’s got its own identity and – because it’s so easy to get to London – the vibe is so open.”
She’s quickly made the Island her home, with an amazing network of friends and a new business ‘Lobster Locations’ – specializing in finding fabulous spots for film production companies and photoshoots. She’s got all sorts of amazing properties on her books and recently worked on the blockbuster production ‘The Beast Must Die’.
She says the Island is perfect as a film location as it “includes many places where you feel you could be anywhere in the world.” And she told me something I’d never heard before – on average the Island gets an extra hour of daylight every day, which is crucial for filming.
Finally on the podcast we always ask the same quickfire 5 questions about the Island.
