FATHER EARTH is the true story of one man’s attempt to help save the planet, by converting a derelict church on a windswept island in Orkney into an eco friendly recording studio, having driven a G Wiz electric car there all the way from London.
That’s the plan, but Life and Relationships - specifically between fathers and sons - can get in the way, appearing even more important than the future of the planet!
Starring Graham Fellows as himself, and his comic alter ego John Shuttleworth - with guest appearances by Kids’ TV legends Sooty and Sweep - the real star of Father Earth is perhaps Graham’s eccentric and mathematically driven father Derek. This 83 minute documentary has already previewed to great acclaim, and now the final version will be touring the UK in Autumn 2022. Each screening will be followed by a Q&A with Graham Fellows.
Father Earth was filmed mainly in the Orkney Isles over a 10 year period and is Fellows’ first movie project since Southern Softies in 2008. This was the sequel to ‘It’s Nice Up North’ (2005) a collaboration with renowned photographer Martin Parr and described by The Telegraph as ‘A bit of a shambles, frankly, and utterly inspired’. Both films were distributed by Picture House and screened on Sky Arts TV.
