West Malling, Kent Sep 27, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - Buchanan Optometrists, the most awarded optician in Kent since 1999, is pleased to announce its collaboration with renowned film director Wes Anderson on his latest work, "The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar." The film is a 39-minute adaptation starring A-list actors like Ralph Fiennes, Benedict Cumberbatch, Dev Patel, Ben Kingsley, and Richard Ayoade. Based on Roald Dahl's 1977 anthology, the film was shot entirely in Kent, primarily at Maidstone Studios and the Maidstone Business Hub on the river.
Hollywood Meets High-Quality Optics
Buchanan Optometrists was brought on board for their unparalleled expertise in restoring and adapting vintage eyewear, a crucial element in capturing the visual essence of Anderson's period film. Working with original, fragile, and sometimes inflammable frames, the team employed highly specialised techniques, such as hand polishing and acetone polishing, to restore each piece to its original glory.
Clear Vision, Exceptional Craftsmanship
In an industry where reflections can ruin a shot, Buchanan Optometrists supplied virtually reflection-free lenses—a crucial component for the film's cinematography. These lenses were sourced globally to meet the highest standards, ensuring that the eyewear not only complemented but also enhanced the film's artistic vision.
