The Inheritance (2007)

Interesting facts

The Inheritance is micro-budget road movie following two Scottish brothers on a dark search to find their late father's inheritance. John Robbins, writing for Raindance Film Festival said the film is a "dark, touching look at brotherhood, identity and the stereotype of the Scotsman's inability to express his feelings."

Production

The Inheritance was directed by Charles-Henri Belleville and written & produced by Tim Barrow. It was filmed in 11 days on miniDV by a cast and crew of 11, on location in Scotland — using natural light. The script allowed improvisation and the story was adapted to suit circumstances.

"Originally we were going to improvise everything – work with actors I knew, get a minibus, shoot at specific locations, drive north, film everything, live it, breathe it, edit together and present accordingly. But we needed a story to match the scenery and the music. So I wrote it." Tim Barrow

Those involved worked full-time, editing through the night and weekends. By September the film was finished and premiered at the Raindance Film Festival in October 2007.

At the British Independent Film Awards, The Inheritance won the Raindance Award. Festival screenings followed, as well as cinema screenings in London and Scotland.
