Former X-Factor Finalist Janet Devlin features in Eco Fashion Brand Rapanui’s Christmas Film ‘The Grotto lll’ a mockumentary with accompanying charity single that they describe as a mix of ‘The Office’, ‘Elf’, ‘Band Aid’ and ‘The Bourne Identity’.
One year after his chart-busting charity single (last year Rapanui’s Grotto ll film and single ‘The Present of Life’ reached number 4 in the Amazon download charts and featured Sir David Attenborough, Chris Packham, Michael Fish MBE and Radio1 DJ Rob Da Bank) Santa’s ego has gotten out of control.
Rudolph approaches Janet Devlin to ask how she copes with the fame, but her wise words cannot prevent The Grotto’s board’s hunger for profit. The wheels are set in motion for an epic finale as Santa is forced to choose between fame and fortune at the expense of those who trust him the most, or doing what is right.
Isle of Wight based Rapanui are supporting Isle of Wight Film Festival organiser Bruce Webb in his efforts to reclaim an art deco cinema for the local community, all proceeds of the sale of the Grotto lll charity single ‘Forgive, Forget, it’s Christmas Time’ will go directly to the campaign.
Martin Drake-Knight co-founder of Rapanui said:
“With two episodes of the Grotto behind us, this year became the year of the trilogy. Lord of the Rings, The Matrix, Star Wars and The Grotto. It got us thinking about films. And, after all, why are we doing it? Why spend a serious amount of our time and budget on a film that is, let’s face it, not really about making money. We realised it’s because we love doing it. Making something, achieving a vision, it’s an important message to spread and film is a great way of inspiring people.
So this year, buy the single and help Save the Rivoli cinema in Sandown. It will give a town that needs a lift in an amazing location a place that gives young artists and filmmakers somewhere to work, and show their stuff. Not just another block of flats. And who knows… The next Anthony Minghella might come out of those Art Deco doors.
