Film shines spotlight on local talent
BBCA film about family relationships, which is backed by actor Thomas Turgoose, has been shot in Grimsby and Cleethorpes.
Good Man is written and directed by Megan Harding, while Grimsby actor Turgoose, best known for his role in the film This Is England, is executive producer.
Harding said the film was cast locally because "there's so much talent here that we can choose from".
Filming finished on Saturday and the production team hopes to show it on the UK film festival circuit by the end of the year.
Turgoose said: "It's a beautiful little script, very well written, and we've got a great cast attached to it.
"I'm a big advocate of anything positive around Grimsby, and anything that I can contribute towards it with the film industry," he added.
Harding said familial relationships were really interesting to her.
"I think there's just so much subtlety to them and so much nuance, that you can get so much drama out of the really mundane parts of life and the mundane relationships that you have.
"But when you actually look at them, they're not so ordinary, and they're very special," she explained.
Filming took place at her grandparents' house in Cleethorpes as the script had been written with that location in mind.
Theo, 13, from Grimsby, was cast as one of the main characters. It is his first film and he said he would like to be as successful as Turgoose.
"I'd like to follow in his footsteps if I can", he said.
"Obviously, he's worked hard for what he's achieved, so we'll have to wait and see."
