KEO Films Brings High Society To The BBC

KEO Films has been commissioned by BBC TWO to produce High Society Bridges for the third series of the broadcaster's Wonderland strand.
The one-off film tells the stories of five high society brides who have graced the pages of Country Life magazine over the last fifty years.
KEO Films is one of the first indies to be commissioned by the BBC to produce a film for the observational documentary strand.
High Society Bridges pulls back the pages of the magazine and explores the stories of five women whose lavish engagements featured on the Girls in Pearls page. The film reveals how these women's live have changed since their photos appeared in Country Life, showing us their highs, lows and extraordinary reversals of fortune.
Katie Buchanan, Executive Producer, KEO Films, said: "High Society Brides is an intriguing and fascinating documentary that offers a rare glimpse at the lives of individuals that are usually hidden from view. The BBC's Wonderland strand has a reputation for featuring thought-provoking, eye-opening documentaries - exactly the type of programming we pride ourselves on making at KEO."
Mark Hedges, Editor of Country Life, added: "Country Life is proud of the women, past, present and future, who grace the frontispiece page of the magazine. Five of these women and the role the magazine played in their lives are celebrated in this raw and brilliant documentary."
High Society Brides is executive produced by Katie Buchanan and directed by Hannah Berryman for KEO Films. The Strand Editor for Wonderland is Nick Mirsky for the BBC.
