Debut feature hits the big screen
Award Winning Local Direcor Q&A at FACT JANUARY 15th
International Emmy and Royal Television Society Award winner and BAFTA nominee, Martin Wallace, makes his feature debut with sensitive portrayal of a smart but naive teenager who ignores all the warnings and ends up in serious trouble with the law.
Made on a shoe-string budget and starring both children AND animals, Small Creatures was shot on Merseyside and features a host of breakthrough performances from a brilliant teenage cast. It’s a gritty yet poetic tale of Coggie (Michael Coventry) - a boy who gets it all wrong when he fails to keep his distance from the charismatic but dangerous homophobe, Ste (Tom Pauline).
“Wallace never romanticizes - far from it - but offers a sensetive look that seems to suggest that no one is beyond redemption. A true work of love”
Leo Bankerson, Film & Festivals
Perhaps best known for his music video work with Pulp, Aphex Twin and Tindersticks amongst others, as a director of factual TV, Wallace won an International Emmy for the Channel Four series “Wise Up” and a Royal Television Society award for his documentary about the and murder of James Bulger, “Liverpool Lullaby”. In1999 he was nominated for a Childrens’ BAFTA for the documentary “Teenagers On The Line”.
Here he brings us a lyrical tale about the fragile nature of adolescent male insecurity and the part it plays in forging the future of a kid who should know better. Starring Michael Coventry, Tom Pauline, Paul Bamford
