Underground Micro-budget feature film from the North West of England inspired by the cult filmmaker Fabrizio Federico's PINK8 movie manifesto.
As a contagion befalls Great Britain, and millions reflect upon the meaning of their lives, a grieving English teacher attempts to recover fragments of his shattered self as a boy, as a youth and as a man amidst the cathedrals, canals and crevices of Greater Manchester.
Written, directed and produced by Brett Gregory (Iceland: Beyond Sigur Rós, Manchester: Beyond Oasis, Liverpool: Beyond The Beatles), this semi-autobiographical monologic black comedy set in Manchester (UK) features outstanding performances from David Howell (Brassic), Reuben Clarke (Peaky Blinders), James Ward (Boots ‘n’ Braces), Julie Hannan (Supernova) and Wendy Patterson (Spencer), as well as from independent rising stars Caroline Chesworth, Nicki Davy and Jenny Owen. With fantastic cinematography by Gwyn Hemmings (Northern Soul, Peaky Blinders), exemplary artwork by Jude Wainwright, and a unique and memorable medieval soundtrack written and performed by Ivor Novello nominated composer, Andrew McCrorie-Shand (Teletubbies, Rosie and Jim, Brum).
This zero-budget DIY production, strongly influenced by the cinema of angst explored in classic British films like Ken Loach’s ‘Kes’, Alan Clarke’s ‘Made in Britain’ and Mike Leigh’s ‘Naked’, has taken a staggering 6 years to complete.
