Documentary | 2022 | 95 mins | unclassified | 

Bradford Movie Makers is one of the oldest amateur filmmaking clubs in the world. Once a thriving community, these days the membership is dwindling and the group struggle to keep the wolf from the door.

An award winning, “ breakthrough, hit, film”, about the members of Britain’s oldest filmmaking club. It is truly original, quietly hilarious, and totally inspiring. The film is a “joyous and heartbreaking celebration of film-making passion. The audience becomes quickly involved in the practical challenges facing the filmmakers, as well as the challenges of life, love and loss we all face. It is ultimately uplifting and pays testimony to the power of community, shared interests and deep and lasting friendship.
