Interesting facts

Three Day Millionaire is a 2022 British comedy film directed by Jack Spring and written by Paul Stephenson.

Production

Director Jack Spring and Writer Paul Stephenson began working on the project in 2018, with Spring's family hailing from Grimsby and Stephenson being raised in nearby Hull. Spring said in 2022 'I wanted to tell the story of the town's real identity, rather than just the lazy tropes of 'it's not a nice area' or 'it's got nothing.

In an interview with The Filmmakers Podcast, Spring explained that the film is set, shot and financed in Grimsby, ‘in every single frame. It’s where all my dad’s side of the family are from.’ Later adding ‘The negative of Grimsby, when we were filming there, is that if you’re a professional in the film/ TV world, you probably don’t live in Grimsby; but we really did get everyone involved as was humanly possible.’

In an interview with British Cinematographer Magazine, Three Day Millionaire DoP Andrew Rodger shared 'It’s like a backlot... there are these beautiful, empty, industrial breath-taking vistas and the sea is always there', when asked about his preparations for shooting the project in Grimsby.

The film began shooting in September 2021 in Grimsby.

One scene show the main character looking at a picture in a pub, which is the 'Wine Pipe' in Grimsby on Freeman Street, it was painted by local artist Kenny King, who add locals who worked on the docks.
