The director of global horror-hit ‘The Dead’ and the award-winning, critically acclaimed thriller ‘Never Let Go’, Howard J Ford has taken a spectacular twist in career path to bring his first family film the screen with Adventure Boyz, which will be released by Gravitas Ventures, a Red Arrow Studios Company, on DigitalHD, Cable VOD, Blu-ray and DVD on February 21 throughout North America.
Inspired by what Howard considers to be the ‘Global Disaster’ of children focusing on device screens rather than engaging in real-life adventures, Adventure Boyz takes audiences on an unforgettable journey with thrills, spills and laughs-a-plenty.
In Adventure Boyz, with his wife away from the family home, ex-motorcycle speedway champ Mike Harris looks forward to being active and having fun outdoors with his two young sons over the summer break. He is stunned that they just want to sit inside playing on their devices. When he encourages them to get out into the real world for exercise and adventure, little does he realize, he is about to set off a chain of events that will change their lives forever.
The irony of the fact that Adventure Boyz is destined to be viewed on millions of screens and devices is not lost on Howard.
“The technology and choice available to us – and our kids - nowadays is amazing and I’m not suggesting we ever let it go altogether. I think sometimes parents and children do not even realize how little time the kids actually spend outside, being active and having fun. After watching Adventure Boyz, my dream is that parents and kids feel inspired to then go and do something amazing together, get some air in their lungs, get moving, and not just drift onto the next thing on our screen; it’s all about balance,” said Howard.
Howard was driven to create Adventure Boyz because of his own children, Rory (9) and Felix (7), and their usage of hand-held devices. In keeping with the theme of the movie, making the movie became a family-affair and a real-life adventure for the father and his sons.
Howard asked his sons to list everything they would want to see in a movie. They listed all sorts of things from ‘Outsmarting Criminals’, ‘Motorbike action,’ ‘Finding Treasure,’ ‘BMXing,’ ‘Bullies getting their comeuppance,’ and ‘Getting the girl’! By the next morning, Howard had written a synopsis with all of that, plus more kid-approved plot ideas and lots of action. Then there was nothing he could do other than write the script, direct the film, and cast his sons in the roles they helped create.
