A BOY CALLED DAD
The debut feature from BAFTA short film winner Brian Percival, A Boy Called Dad, follows the story of a boy thrust into early adulthood when he becomes a father at the age of 14.
Newcomer, Kyle Ward, delivers an impressive performance as the young boy.
Ian Hart (Backbeat, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone) plays the boy’s father forced to confront his son’s newfound situation and help usher him into a life with increased responsibilities, that neither of them have any choice but to embrace.
