Directed by Andrew Gaynord (The Characters, Stath Lets Flats), his feature debut, ALL MY FRIENDS HATE ME is a deliciously dark new British comedy about social paranoia written by Tom Palmer and leading cast member Tom Stourton (Lovesick, About Time, Siblings). Following its world premiere screening at the Tribeca Film Festival 2021 to critical acclaim, it had its UK premiere at the 2021 BFI London Film Festival. The film is produced by Tom Palmer for Totally Tom Films and Ravanburn Films. Executive producer is Jon Plowman O.B.E (The Office, Absolutely Fabulous).
Pete (Tom Stourton) is ready to leave his youthful indulgences behind and settle down with his girlfriend, Sonia (Charly Clive). When his uni friends invite him for a country weekend away, he finds their immature ways haven’t changed. And he’s baffled by their spontaneous invitation to a feral stranger from the local pub to join them. With the atmosphere turning from tense to terrifying to surreal, Pete reaches breaking point. Is he being paranoid, or is he just part of some sick joke?
The ensemble cast features brilliant rising British talent, which includes BAFTA TV Award winner Georgina Campbell (Black Mirror, His Dark Materials, Suspicion) and BAFTA TV Award nominee Dustin Demri-Burns (Cardinal Burns, Stath Lets Flats, Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa) alongside Joshua McGuire (Cheaters, Artemis Fowl, About Time), Antonia Clarke (Skins, Les Miserables, The Girl Before), Charly Clive (Pure, Britney), Graham Dickson (Down From London, Pls Like) and Kieran Hodgson (Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa, Pls Like), plus the film, stage and TV actor Christopher Fairbank (Fifth Element, Wolf Hall).
ALL MY FRIENDS HATE ME opens in UK and Irish cinemas on Friday 10th June 2022
