Talent
With Production Design by Sarah Finlay, H is for Hawk has been nominated for Outstanding British Film at the 2026 BAFTA Film Awards!
"After losing her beloved father, Helen finds herself saved by an unlikely friendship with a stubborn hawk named Mabel."
Directed by Philippa Lowthorpe, H is for Hawk stars Claire Foy (First Man, All of Us Strangers), Brendan Gleeson (Calvary, In Bruges), Denise Gough (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Andor), Lindsay Duncan (Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance), Gifted) and Ameer Davies-Rana (Somewhere Boy, Fflam).
The Guardian: "Claire Foy is tremendously authentic in eccentric grief drama"
Variety: "Looking for goshawks is like looking for grace: it comes, but not often, and you don't get to say when or how," writes Helen Macdonald in 'H Is for Hawk', a book I picked up by accident and which proved to be the greatest tool I had when one of my own parents passed away."
The BAFTA's are on the 22 February!
