A teenage filmmaker is hoping to bring a slice of horror to the isle with a shoot for his movie Beach Stalker.
Kenny Ascot, of 12 go productions, has been involved in film production for the past two years and is now ready to shoot scenes for his own project in Thanet and other parts of Kent.
The 18-year-old is hoping Thanet residents might like to get involved as volunteer extras.
He said: “My journey into filmmaking began two years ago, driven by wanting to make my own films.
“ I grew up in London and I’m excited to be bringing this project to life in Kent. Beach Stalker is a film about a clown who stalks a character called Jack. But Jack doesn’t realise the clown isn’t real but is instead in his dreams as he tries to survive.
“I will be filming in all kinds of locations across Kent and Thanet, from beaches to woods to secret locations.”
Anyone who would like to get involved can contact [email protected]
The aim is for the film to be released in February 2026.


Idea for the film. the clown is Polly bilington and the good people of Thanet are being led to believe she is real! And she allegedly visits Thanet on a regular basis.
Those that clap eyes on her are never ever seen again 🤡🤡🤡
Have they tried Ramsgate? There’s some real horrors walking around there.
I agree with Ms. Rees heere. Clowns are funny, Polly is just useless.
Sounds like she has a chip on her shoulder! Getting all worked up over a clown obviously has anger issues!
“the sinic” -I do not have “a chip on my shoulder”. I am very angry when I read an unpleasant comment about me on these threads. There have been many of them over the past few years, written by a very few people.
A bag of chips in ya gob though.
Peter checksfield , go out more ,get a hobby, your a keyboard warrior and pathetic .
“Thanet”- yes, he’s pathetic and unpleasant and I’ve stopped being polite in my comments about him.
You’re only polite to sheep.
I think Peter Checksfield only mentioned sheep because I’m Welsh. He’s a very unpleasant man.
M.m Rees , he really is , seriously needs to get out more , imagine spending all day commenting 9 10 times out of time derogatory things on most articles . Sad ….. don’t let him get to you, he feeds on it .
