Big Picture Film Club Expands into Theatrical Distribution

London-based Big Picture Film Club (BPFC) has announced a strategic shift into theatrical distribution across the U.K. and Ireland, acquiring two exciting new titles, as exclusively reported by The Hollywood Reporter.

New Acquisitions: Fighters and 50 Hours Underwater

The events, media publishing, and marketing consultancy has secured the rights to the sports documentary Fighters and the environmental documentary 50 Hours Underwater, both set for release in the third quarter of this year.

Fighters, produced by Ben & Jack Studios and facilitated by BPFC’s co-founder, Presh Williams, follows the inspiring journey of Matt Edwards, a lower-limb amputee boxer who is determined to break down systemic barriers and advocate for inclusivity in sports.

A Call to Action for Marine Conservation

50 Hours Underwater, acquired from Lifton Media GmbH and also brokered by Williams, chronicles the record-breaking 50-hour dive of professional diver Shafraz (Shaff) Naeem in the Maldives. This ambitious endeavor, set against the urgent backdrop of environmental degradation, serves as a powerful call to action for marine conservation and celebrates the resilience found in both community and nature.

Celebrating a Decade of Community Building

As BPFC marks its 10th anniversary, it has gained recognition for its nationwide collaboration with Odeon Cinemas, where it has curated the Diverse Cinema programming for five years, supporting a total of 24 titles across the U.K.

Urvisha Patel, co-founder of Big Picture Film Club, expressed, “After a decade of building communities through the films we’ve championed, moving into distribution feels like the natural next step. We are excited to be hands-on in supporting exceptional films while uplifting talented filmmakers, and I look forward to sharing new stories with fresh perspectives with our audiences.”

Williams added, “Through our nationwide programming partnership with Odeon Cinemas over the past five years, we’ve witnessed firsthand how crucial the theatrical aspect of a film’s distribution has become in the age of VODs. We are thrilled to embark on this new chapter for Big Picture Film Club.”
