International Emmy and Royal Television Society Award winner and BAFTA nominee, Martin Wallace, makes his feature debut with sensitive portrayal of a smart but naive teenager who ignores all the warnings and ends up in serious trouble with the law.
Made on a shoe-string budget and starring both children AND animals, Small Creatures was shot on Merseyside and features a host of breakthrough performances from a brilliant teenage cast of Michael Coventry, Tom Pauline and Paul Bamford. It???s a gritty yet poetic tale of Coggie (Michael Coventry) – a boy who gets it all wrong when he fails to keep his distance from the charismatic but dangerous homophobe, Ste (Tom Pauline).??
??
???Wallace never romanticizes – far from it – but offers a sensitive look??that seems to suggest that no one is beyond redemption. A true work of love??? Leo Bankerson, Film & Festivals
??
Perhaps best known for his music video work with Pulp, Aphex Twin and Tindersticks amongst others, as a director of factual TV, Wallace won an International Emmy for the Channel Four series ???Wise Up??? and a Royal Television Society award for his documentary about the and murder of James Bulger, ???Liverpool Lullaby???. In1999 he was nominated for a Children???s??? BAFTA for the documentary ???Teenagers on the Line???.
??
Here he brings us a lyrical tale about the fragile nature of adolescent male insecurity and the part it plays in forging the future of a kid who should know better.
