Watch Trailer For UK Indie And Then Come The Nightjars
Very few stage plays successfully adapt to the big screen. For And Then Comes The Nightjars there is hope with the stage cast reprising their roles. Finite Films have sent us over the UK Trailer for this British indie drama.
The film marks Paul Robinson’s directorial feature debut who directed the stage version. He is joined by Nigel Hastings and David Fielder as Jeff and Michael. Based on Bea Roberts stage play, this is a heart-warming story of friendship and survival set against the backdrop of the 2001 Foot and Mouth outbreak.
We’re promised a mix of sadness and humour, rural life was absolutely wiped off the face of the earth after the outbreak for farmers. Heart breaking for all involved, survival of the fittest, a lonely world for farmers. Can’t believe it’s 22 years ago, check out the trailer…
Adapted for the screen from Bea Roberts’ multi-award-winning stage play, And Then Come the Nightjars tells the story of an unlikely friendship between a Devon farmer and the vet who is assigned to cull his precious herd.
A heart-warming story of friendship and survival set against the backdrop of the 2001 Foot and Mouth outbreak.
