Birmingham red carpet premiere for The Tale of the Fatherless
Sadé Davis serves as Executive Producer whilst Misha directs alongside actor and Director Stefan Davis who also features in the lead role of the film. Stefan's performance in The Tale of The Fatherless earned him a best actor award British Urban film festival in 2020.
The film also received a best feature film nomination and a best actress nomination for Laura Autumn Rai at the same festival.
The Tale of The Fatherless hopes to break major barriers of representation for Black British film, by being the first film to feature a predominantly Black British Caribbean cast from Birmingham to be released in cinemas in over 10 years.
The film is also set up to be the first to be produced by a majority minority crew from Birmingham and the West Midlands exclusively for G.A.P Entertainment.
Stefan explains, “The film is targeted at the 16-35 age group and seeks to push the boundaries and spark further conversations regarding the negative stereotypes often associated with Black youth and endeavours to bridge the gap, by succeeding to provide a different outlook into the lives of young people often defined as troubled or hard to reach”.
“The Tale of The Fatherless at its core has a deep message that seeks to speak the minds of its audience through its central characters' experiences and hopes to evoke a change in the way Black people are portrayed on screen and how their stories are told in British film”.
