\n

\n\tAfter more than a decade-long hiatus from the big screen, Shane Meadows is making a return to cinema with a new film, Chork<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tPenned by Adolescence <\/em>writer Jack Thorne and set along the east coast of England, Chork <\/em>follows 15-year-old Kit and 11-year-old Ani as they leave their foster home and trek across the coastline in hopes of a brighter future. With the police in pursuit and a national search underway, Kit must use all her determination and wits to protect Ani and fulfil their mission.<\/p>\n

\n\tCast by Meadows\u2019 frequent collaborator, Shaheen Baig (Adolescence<\/em>, Hot Milk<\/em>) the two have secured the film\u2019s lead cast with open casting calls taking place earlier in the year throughout the U.K.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cTo be returning to film after 17 years, writing alongside \u2018megadude\u2019 Jack Thorne again, and working with so many gifted collaborators, has been an absolute privilege,\u201d said Meadows. \u201cOur story follows two beyond bright, funny as heck and mischievously ingenious young people on a \u2018runaway\u2019 road trip<\/a> the length of this glorious isle.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSafe to say,\u201d he continued, \u201cI\u2019m beyond excited about what we\u2019ve captured on their journey. I\u2019m also hugely grateful to our partners at BBC Film, BFI, Screen Yorkshire, Hoopsa Films and Altitude for their undying trust and support throughout.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMeadows gained critical acclaim with features TwentyFourSeven<\/em>, Dead Man\u2019s Shoes<\/em>, A Room for Romeo Brass<\/em> and Somers Town<\/em>. His television credits include This Is England<\/em>, which premiered in Toronto in 2006, The Virtues <\/em>starring Stephen Graham and The Gallows Pole<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tChork<\/em> is produced by Ben Pugh and Cathy King for 42, Lauren Dark and Amy Jackson for Unified, Meadows\u2019 Big Arty and Thorne\u2019s One Shoe Films, both of whom will also executive produce.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe film is financed by BBC Film, BFI (awarding National Lottery funding), Screen Yorkshire (via the Yorkshire Content Fund), and Hoopsa Films.<\/p>\n

\n\tExecutive producers are Eva Yates and Kristin Irving for BBC Film, Louise Ortega for the BFI, Caroline Cooper Charles for Screen Yorkshire, Sonny Gill and Tim Macready for Hoopsa Films and Ali Jazayeri and Keith Kehoe for Three Picture Capital alongside Laura Jackson and Joshua Horsfield. The film was developed with BBC Film.<\/p>\n

\n\tAltitude will release Chork<\/em> in U.K. and Irish cinemas in 2026 and will manage international sales.<\/p>\n

\n\tYates, director of BBC Film, added: \u201cThe films of Shane Meadows are at the heart of contemporary British independent cinema and we are hugely excited to support his return, with a cast of exceptional new actors, his brilliant writing collaborator Jack Thorne, and an anarchic story of love, redemption and the untapp<\/a>ed and profound potential of youth.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
