Father Earth

Father Earth is the true story of one mans attempt to help save the planet by converting a derelict church on the Orkney Isles into an eco friendly recording studio Its also a fascinating study of a psychological power struggle between a character comedian Graham Fellows and his longstanding creation John Shuttleworth Father Earth is also about family relationships specifically between fathers and sons and it explores the paradox how in the battle against extinction we are often distracted by personal and family issues as they appear more important and pressing than the future of the planet Funny yet moving and filmed mainly in the Orkney Isles over a 10 year period Father Earth is Graham Fellows most thoughtful and accomplished movie to date Previous work includes Its Nice Up North filmed by Martin Parr 2004 and Southern Softies 2008
