The Lovers’ Guide Movie

Based on the international best-selling sell-through video of 1991.

The true and incredible story of how two men made Britain’s first sex education video for adults. It rocked the establishment to its core – but despite the best efforts of the police, morality protestors, a hostile paparazzi, and rejection by major shops – it sold by the bucket load. Not just into the UK, but into 22 territories and 13 languages.

This is a feel-good movie. Think: The Full Monty meets Sex Education. Certificate 15. 

Lead cast and sales attached.

I have a personal connection, as I directed and ran the studio complex of the video’s distributor so know much of the hidden story.
