This is a sweet film and one that has a lot of heart. There's a subtle nature about the idea of community and the independent spirit which is wholesome. What I appreciate though is that there are nuances of naturalism that stops it from being too sentimental.” - Festival Formula This film was made on a crowdfund budget of £10,000, backed by over 120 supporters, surpassing our initial budget.
