Synopsis:
A runaway audience smash at the Sundance Film Festival, SON OF RAMBOW is a
hilariously fresh and visually inventive take on friendship, family, film heroes and the death
defying adventures of growing up in the video age.
It all begins in 1980s Britain, when young Will Proudfoot, raised in isolation among The Brethren, a puritanical religious sect in which music and TV are strictly forbidden, encounters something beyond his wildest fantasies: a pirated copy of RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD. His virgin viewing of the iconic thriller blows his mind – and rapidly expanding imagination – wide open. Now, Will sets out to join forces with the seemingly diabolical school bully, Lee Carter, to make their own action epic, devising wildly creative, on-the-fly stunts, not to mention equally elaborate schemes for creating a movie of total commitment and non-stop thrills while hiding out from The Brethren.
But when school popularity finally descends on Will and Lee in the form of, oui, the super-cool French exchange student, Didier Revol, their remarkable new friendship and precious film are pushed, quite literally, to the breaking point . . .
Filmed in a creatively mad-cap, homemade style with a mostly amateur cast and a wry, comic-tinged nostalgia, creative visionaries Garth Jennings and Nick Goldsmith, AKA Hammer & Tongs (HITCHIKER’S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY), manage to capture both the agony and the giddy ecstasy of a camcorder childhood with humor, poignancy and a rousing dose of cinematic panache.
Paramount Vantage presents a Reason Pictures/Good presentation of a Hammer & Tongs film, SON OF RAMBOW. The film is directed and written by Garth Jennings and produced by Nick Goldsmith. The executive producers are Hengameh Panahi, Bristol Baughan and Benjamin Goldhirsh. The film stars Bill Milner, Will Poulter, Jules Sitruk, Jessica Stevenson and Neil Dudgeon.
