York City Football Club has teamed up with Shush Films to celebrate the release of Merry Christmas Aubrey Flint, a heartwarming Christmas film set and filmed in York. The film arrives in cinemas on 6 November.
Directed by Jack Spring, the film tells the story of a reclusive model soldier painter who despises Christmas and is sentenced to community service at a struggling retirement home. There, he becomes involved in a chaotic production of A Christmas Carol that forces him to confront grief, rediscover friendship and embrace the festive spirit he has long avoided. The cast includes John Bradley, Celia Imrie, Richard E. Grant, Adjoa Andoh, Sophia Di Martino, Kiell Smith-Bynoe and Karl Pilkington.
Director Jack Spring said the film is 'a beautiful new Christmas movie' and expressed his delight at working with York City Football Club, describing it as 'a club I've always had a soft spot for after living in York for a couple of years'. Ed Simpson, media manager at York City FC, said it was 'a real privilege to be working with Jack this winter to recognise the important messages behind the movie, while also showcasing our city on the big screen'.
