Synopsis:
Gone fishing is the touching story of a boy and an old man coming to terms with
bereavement through their shared love of fishing, and the legend of Goliath, the
biggest pike ever caught!
Financed by 150 film makers, Gone Fishing is a short film directed by Guerilla
Film Makers Handbook Author Chris Jones. Thirteen minutes of magic that will
touch and move you.
The story is in part autobiographical – while growing up, director Chris Jones
and his friends would often attempt to catch the legendary ‘Oscar the pike’, a
fish that according to local myth terrorized the lake at the end of his road,
the aptly name Blue Lagoon. This was the inspiration behind the legend of
‘Goliath’, the big fish in this even bigger tale. Think ‘Jaws’ but for kids.
