Erin Doherty, known for her award-winning roles in The Crown and Adolescence, will star opposite James McAvoy, the BAFTA-winning actor behind Atonement and The Last King of Scotland, in the upcoming film Faith. The ensemble includes BAFTA and BIFA award nominee Liv Hill (“Jellyfish,” “The Little Stranger”), together with Smylie Bradwell (“Hamnet,” “Hunger Games”).
BAFTA and BIFA award-winning director Paul Andrew Williams brings to life the supernatural drama “Faith,” produced by Dominic Tighe of Giant Productions (“Dragonfly,” “Bull”) and Danny Page of Homefront Productions & Blazing Griffin (“California Schemin”).
“Faith” unfolds around Gina, a tireless single mother whose life is quietly transformed by Michael, a stranger shrouded in mystery. His gentle presence awakens a sense of possibility, though the truth of his intentions remains hidden in shadow.
British filmmaker Paul Andrew Williams is best known for his recent success with the award-winning “Dragonfly.” The story of Elsie (Brenda Blethyn), an 84-year-old woman living in isolation who unexpectedly befriends her troubled neighbor, Colleen (Andrea Riseborough). What begins as a healing connection soon draws suspicion from Elsie’s son, John (Jason Watkins), and spirals into mounting tension and a violent outcome.
Acclaimed filmmaker Williams—recognized for “London to Brighton” and “Bull”—stated, “Faith is a deeply personal story to me. Telling a story of strength and hope, set in a known reality yet shadowed by something otherworldly that we can’t quite explain, which is guiding us through life.”
“We have long been admirers of Paul’s immense talent, and the opportunity to collaborate with him on ‘Faith’ was not to be missed. His ability to play with genre in the most unexpected way shines through in this gripping story, which expertly subverts your expectations in the most thrilling and surprising way. It’s a story with a huge depth of emotion, which the exceptional cast he has assembled will execute brilliantly.” Stephen Kelliher (Bankside Films) and Andrei Kamarowsky (Logical) noted.
