Callow & Sons

About This Project

Georgia Oakley, Filmmaker

About: Embroiled in a cloud of smoke, lonely old bookshop owner, Henry, throws back an entire bottle of painkillers. Years of guilt for a son never traced begin to drift away. The doorbell goes. His son, Joe (19) has come to reveal himself; but thrown off by his father’s strange mood, Joe bottles it and enters into a web of lies.

Outcomes: Callow & Sons is to be submitted to national and international film festivals.

“Without the support of the KSF we would have struggled to achieve the level of detail and period accuracy that have contributed to the authenticity and emotional impact of the film.”
