The Solway

Cumbria & the Lake District

Documentary filmmaker Eamon Bourke has lived his whole life without being able to remember his mother Sue, who died when he was three. When his father John decides to sell the remote cottage in Cumbria where Eamon grew up, he returns to help.

As the house is cleared, an extraordinary archive emerges, including several cassette tapes recorded by Sue which bring her back to life in luminous detail. Rediscovering his mother’s voice, Eamon attempts to make sense of a tragedy now forty years in the past.

Set amidst the cinematic beauty of the Lake District, The Solway is both a celebration of love and family, and a moving meditation on grief and memory.

“Medicine for the soul.”

The Road of Excess

The story of Mat Pritchard

Ex-Dirty Sanchez star Mat Pritchard attempts to row the Atlantic, from Lanzarote to Antigua: fifty days, two hours on, two hours off. Told alongside his rise and fall from fame, it’s a film about toxic masculinity, mental health, addiction, and what happens when the fame is gone.

“A raw and moving look at addiction, fame and the search for meaning…”

Film Cymru presents a Mitos Studio production in association with Misfits Entertainment. Supported by the National Lottery through the Arts Council of Wales.

About

We make documentaries about real people and real moments, to help audiences understand, not just feel.

Mitos Studio is an award-winning documentary filmmaking studio, making films about real people and the moments that bring us closer together.

Our mission is to amplify underrepresented voices: stories of grief and memory, fame and addiction, resilience and recovery, told with honesty and care, and made for the cinema.

Real people

Intimate, character-led films built on trust with the people whose stories we tell.

Underrepresented voices

Stories that are rarely heard, given the space and craft of a feature.

Made for the cinema

Feature documentaries crafted for the big screen and the shared experience of an audience.
