British producer David Parfitt, who had been working with Embankment on Trevor Nunn’s spy drama “Red Joan,” starring Judi Dench, approached Haslam and Grumbar with the screenplay for “The Father,” an adaptation of Zeller’s Olivier and Tony award-winning play about a man suffering from dementia.Įmbankment’s eight-strong team – which includes Calum Gray, head of worldwide sales and distribution, Max Pirkis, head of acquisitions and distribution, and Greg Martin, acquisitions and distribution executive – read the screenplay overnight, and quickly came to a decision.

Twelve-year-old Mully also has a mom-shaped void in his life, and a dad who is a conman, preying on his innocence. When she looks in the mirror she sees a train-wreck, and the shadow of her own neglectful mother.
