FROME business Aerial Boots recently worked with film producer 20th Century Fox to make trapeze legwear for its latest film, The Greatest Showman.
The film stars big Hollywood names including Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron and Michelle Williams. Inspired by the imagination of P.T. Barnum, The Greatest Showman is an original musical that celebrates the birth of show business and tells of a visionary who rose from nothing to create a spectacle that became a worldwide sensation.
Danielle Jones who owns the company and hand makes the aerial trapeze gaiters said, “We supplied 14 pairs of gaiters for the actors and stunt doubles and now I’ve seen the trailer and a few pictures from the film, they look amazing – I’m so proud.
“When they originally got in touch with me they didn’t say what film it was for. They just said they were a production company – I didn’t expect it to be 20th Century Fox!
“It feels great to have a niche business recognised in such a big way. Since I started the business a year ago it’s grown and grown. I decided to defer my university place because I was so busy with my business, I will be going back, but I’ve changed my degree from human biology to business management.”
The film will be in cinemas in December.
