“So convincing are the performances that we can be forgiven for thinking we are watching a documentary” – Indie Film

Five interviewees. One chair. No filter. Looking down the barrel of the lens, a dysfunctional family pieces together an event that has irrevocably altered their relationships. Contains descriptions of a sexual encounter that some may find distressing.

A unique debut feature, Stumbling is based on a radio script by Joe Crilly, produced by the BBC in 2003. Adapted, directed and edited by Jonathan Harden, It consists of direct-to-camera interviews with five characters, as if for a documentary.

Stumbling will premiere at Chichester Film Festival later this year.
