The Local (working title)
Kim Hopkins
Step inside a Bradford landmark…
The new feature from the makers of A Bunch of Amateurs raises a glass with the regulars at one of Bradford’s oldest pubs.
Jacobs Well is a Bradford landmark, but it’s not one you’ll find in any guidebook. Fast approaching its 200th birthday, this storied city-centre pub has watched Bradford change and grow around it. But time stands still in the Well, as it does in all the best pubs, and the regulars aren’t in any hurry to face the future…
A Bunch of Amateurs, Kim Hopkins’ previous film, followed the members of Bradford Movie Makers as they fought to keep their cherished club from collapse. Now, Hopkins is turning her lens to another band of Bradfordians outside the mainstream in a film that pays affectionate tribute to community, humanity and the great British pub.
The Local is supported by Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture. The film is currently in development – check back next year for news of screenings in Bradford and beyond.
