CFF: Harvey Greenfield Is Running Late

UK, 2023, 94 mins.

DIRECTOR: Jonnie Howard

WITH: Paul Richards, Liz Todd, Annette Badland, Alan Hay

When an indecisive people-pleaser is running late for the world’s busiest day, his misguided decisions escalate toward a single choice that risks everything he holds dear. 

Harvey Greenfield is Running Late is a frenetic comedy adapted from Cambridge writer Paul Richard's critically acclaimed one-man play that he performed at the 2019 Edinburgh Fringe and continues to tour. This adaptation is directed, co-produced and co-written by Jonnie Howard as his debut feature film.

The feature was shot entirely on location in Cambridgeshire in 21 days across 2021-22. The aim of the production was always to celebrate Cambridge, both in front and behind the lens, with much of the crew consisting of local talent.

The Cambridge Film Festival is presented by the Cambridge Film Trust, a registered charity with a mission to foster film culture and education for the benefit of the public, in Cambridge, the Eastern region, and throughout the UK.
