Stockholm Venue Programmers - Lost Boys of Carbis Bay Screenings

There's a version of film distribution that ends when the file gets uploaded, but there's another way to get a film seen... Presenting screenings is something I believe in because of what happens in that space between the film ending and everyone going home. People talk. Really talk. Strangers find common ground. Someone says something out loud that they've never quite said before, because the film gave them the words, or at least the permission. The Lost Boys of Carbis Bay is a documentary about men's mental health, community, and a group of working-class Cornish men who find connection in the most unlikely of places. It's been covered by BBC, The Guardian, and Channel 5 News. And it has now been screened in Sweden. What struck me presenting it here wasn't just how the audience responded. It was how quickly a room full of people who'd never met the Carbis Bay Crew or even been to Cornwall felt like they knew them. It collapses distance. Between cultures, between strangers, between the life someone is living and the one they haven't yet been able to articulate. As a producer I want to bringing meaningful stories to new audiences, building the kind of community around film that makes people feel something and then do something. And it's work I want to do more of here in Sweden bringing over my expertise from over a decade of working in Production in the UK. More screenings of The Lost Boys of Carbis Bay are potentially in the works. If you're interested in hosting or partnering, I'd love to hear from you and if you have a story to tell about ordinary extraordinary people you want to tell, get in touch. #Documentary #Producer #Stockholm #MensMentalHealth Photo credit Sheppard Mariia - Filmmakers Dan Simpkins Angus Breton & many more!
