The news comes as Hendrick heads into production on feature movie Perfect Strangers, a Scotland-set Christmas tale about two strangers who find themselves stranded in the Scottish Highlands on Christmas Eve. Putting aside their own personal turmoil they reluctantly decide to team up to try and get home for Christmas.
The feature is based on Hendrick’s own short film of the same name, which was nominated for a Scottish BAFTA.
Hendrick is directing Perfect Strangers from his own screenplay, written with writing partner Clare Sheppard. Newman is producing, while John Rhodes has been attached as DoP.
