Casting "Blazing Sun," an absurdist thriller that weaves contemporary working-class life with historical mystery. Synopsis: It follows Dave, a construction worker who unearths a hidden pool and is inexplicably pulled through time. When he returns, his identity has been erased, and his wife has moved on. As past and present blur, Blazing Sun blends psychological tension with haunting folklore, unraveling a gripping tale of fate, loss, and the unknown. Set in Bristol and the South West, the story unfolds across both the present day and 1799, where buried secrets resurface in eerie and unexpected ways.
