“Rotherham Hospital have been particularly helpful in clearing part of their site for us to film in.
“This is a film that aims to say something about what is happening in England at the moment, particularly about what it is to be working class.”
Jon took him out from a shoot in Rotherham town centre to talk to the Advertiser about the film, its characters, and why he chose his hometown as the backdrop.
