Hard Times and Great Expectations press image 01

The press image for a short film adapted from Hull crime writer Nick Quantrill’s debut novel ‘Broken Dreams’.

 

Private Investigator Joe Geraghty meets a client at the Hull Pierhead, hoping to gather information on a missing person case he is investigating. Instead, he gets a lesson on the history of the waterfront and an ex-trawlerman’s views about the future of the city.

 

The film is by Dave Lee (director of much-praised Philip Larkin shorts ‘Here’ and ‘Bridge For The Living’) and narrated by Hull-born actor Paul Popplewell (‘Tyrannosaur’, ‘Black Mirror’).

 

The film was made for the Humber Mouth literary festival 2012 and is copyright Dave Lee (the film) and Nick Quantrill (the words). Please credit Dave Lee if you use this image. If you are using the image online you should include a trackback to this site: davelee1968.wordpress.com/
