WONDERKID is a film by Rhys Chapman which depicts the inner turmoil of a gay professional footballer. A story that breaks into fresh ground, the official trailer has just been released.
The film itself, one that is incredibly well told with an impeccable creative delivery, has been given the highest quality of treatment and is part of a nationwide campaign to raise awareness about the lack of openly gay professionals in the sport. It has won the support of Sir Ian McKellen & Stephen Fry, as well as organisations such as The Telegraph, adidas, The FA, The Premier League, Watford Football Club, Tottenham Hotspur & Sky Sports.
Sitting down with with filmmaker Rhys Chapman and lead actor Chris Mason for SoccerBible Magazine Issue 5, we got a unique perspective on a film that is underlined by one man's journey of acceptance in a hyper-masculine environment. You can read more about that here.
WONDERKID will premiere at the Odeon in Leciester Square before the start of next season and will be released online shortly afterwards.
