Here’s a new trailer and poster for an upcoming British comedy called Destination Dewsbury, a low-budget film due in cinemas in March.
According to the official release, which we received this morning, Destination Dewsbury is a daring piece of filmmaking – made on a small budget, with an average crew age of 21 – with irreverent, shockwave comedy that aims to fill the void in the UK comedy mainstream.
Here’s a little bit more about the film.
With a touch of staple English sitcoms, iconic film comedies, and a wild imagination, the film is a blend of exciting talent and tone. Director and co-writer Jack Spring sees the film as a “middle-aged version of The Inbetweeners. It’s got real heart and strikes a comedic and emotional chord with a huge spectrum of people; it’s a proper laugh-out-loud comedy that touches the heart”. In the modern age of superhero blockbusters, reboots/remakes and endless sequels, Destinations Dewsbury is a fresh, bold comedy that harks back to the timelessness of a good laugh at the cinema! With a relatable ensemble and a wild adventure that they embark on, you’ll be hard-pressed to forget the journey – which is packed full of laughs but also tugs at the heartstrings at points.
The film’s director Jack Spring is currently the UK’s youngest feature film director at the age of 21. He reportedly dropped out of university after becoming disillusioned with his ‘Film & TV’ course and made this movie aged 19 at a budget of £150k. His next one is being made at the end of the year, at a budget of £400k, and reportedly he has a seven-figure budget film in development with a major studio.
Destination Dewsbury opens in select UK cinemas on 1st March. Watch the trailer below and check out the new poster above.
