A Boy Called Dad will be screened to launch 3rd Wirral International Film Festival.
Directed by BAFTA award winning Liverpool director Brian Percival (Much Ado About Nothing, The Old Curiosity Shop, Gracie!)and written by Liverpool writer, Julie Rutterford (Teachers, Life on Mars, Ashes to Ashes).
It also stars Liverpool actor Ian Hart (Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, Backbeat).
A Boy Called Dad filmed on location in Liverpool, tells the story of Robbie, a 14 year old boy who has just become a father.
Abandoned by his own father Joe, Robbie snatches his baby son and goes on the run. As Joe joins the search for Robbie, they are each forced to face up to the past and what it really means to be a father.
Brian Percival (Director) and Julie Rutterford (Screenwriter), who reside on the Wirral, will participate in a Question and Answer session with the audience immediately following the screening.
Brian Percival said:
"It was always my dream to direct a feature film but to be able to direct part of it on my own doorstep made the dream even more special.
"The icing on the cake is to have our film screened at the 3rd Wirral International Film Festival. We hope it's as successful a night as the Clapperboard screening at the Plaza Crosby earlier this year".
Clapperboard’s Director, Maureen Sinclair said:
“Its Clapperboard’s first collaboration with the Wirral Film Festival and as there is a strong connection between the Wirral and A Boy Called Dad it’s the perfect local film to launch the festival”.
Clapperboard Presents… is an exciting new initiative from Clapperboard UK’s Director Maureen Sinclair re-visiting and celebrating the groundbreaking work of award winning talented artists and professionals from ‘in front of’ and ‘behind’ the camera.
Clapperboard Presents… is also an excellent opportunity for new and established media and creative players to network ideas and support for the benefit of all.
