‘Father Earth’, the latest film from filmmaker and comedian Graham Fellows, will be released on Digital Download from 1st December 2022.
The film is currently enjoying a national tour of cinemas and arts venues, with each screening followed by a Q&A with Fellows.
‘Father Earth’ is the moving yet quirky and comedic true story of one man’s efforts to make sense of his world, whilst attempting to save the planet. And of course, there’s Graham’s perennial character creation, John Shuttleworth, to contend with… the iconic musician, actor, writer & filmmaker admits that this is his most personal film to date, which took 12 years to complete.
The film stars Fellows as himself, and his comic alter ego John Shuttleworth – with guest appearances by Kids’ TV legends Sooty and Sweep and Graham’s eccentric and mathematically driven father Derek.
Filmed mainly in the Orkney Isles, this is Fellows’ first movie project since ‘Southern Softies’ in 2008, which was the sequel to ‘It’s Nice Up North’ (2005) a collaboration with renowned photographer Martin Parr. Both films were distributed by Picture House and screened on Sky Arts TV.
‘Father Earth’ is a Northern Pictures and Chic Ken Production, directed and edited by Graham Fellows.
