Description
Jack Spring spoke to HeyUGuys at the Merry Christmas Aubrey Flint UK Premiere at Picturehouse Central, London, on the night his eight-year labour of love finally reached the big screen. The director traces the film back to a 2018 news clip spotted in America, admits the release makes him anxious, and explains how he guides a cast this experienced with a lightness of touch, plus what he has learned about sound and camera since his last film.
Interviews for Merry Christmas Aubrey Flint at the UK Premiere at Picturehouse Central, starring John Bradley, Celia Imrie, Richard E. Grant, Adjoa Andoh, Kiell Smith-Bynoe, Sophia Di Martino, Jim Broadbent and Karl Pilkington, written by Chris Boyle-McQuarry and directed by Jack Spring.
Colin Hart and Abigail Shii ask the questions.
Plot: Aubrey Flint is a man forced to complete community service at a struggling retirement home with an uncertain future. With the home threatened by an unscrupulous property developer, Aubrey is drawn into an unlikely fight to save it, rallying the community by staging a gloriously chaotic production of A Christmas Carol. Along the way, his reluctant stint becomes something far more meaningful, and he rediscovers a little Christmas magic of his own.
Merry Christmas Aubrey Flint will be released in UK cinemas on 6th November 2026.
