Directed by debut filmmaker Seán Dunn, THE FALL OF SIR DOUGLAS WEATHERFORD is an offbeat, darkly funny character study starring Scottish screen legend and BAFTA nominee Peter Mullan.
The film follows Kenneth McKay (Mullan), a recent widower and enthusiastic tour guide at a dusty visitor center in the small town of Arberloch, dedicated to his alleged ancestor and notable Enlightenment figure Sir Douglas Weatherford. When Arberloch becomes a shooting location for a successful fantasy TV show and Sir Douglas’ local renown is threatened by the pop culture phenomenon, Kenneth’s world gets turned upside down and he takes it upon himself to preserve his legacy at any cost.
Anchored by a nuanced, standout performance by Peter Mullan, THE FALL OF SIR DOUGLAS WEATHERFORD is the story of a man struggling to find his place in the contemporary world; exploring themes of identity and loss through a tender, eccentric, and quintessentially British lens.
