Trailer for Feel-Good Comedy Film BANK OF DAVE About a Guy Who Creates a Community Bank

I’ve got an enjoyable trailer for an upcoming feel-good British comedy, titled Bank of Dave. The movie is based on the true story of Dave Fishwick, who fought to set up a small community bank. Dave was a working-class man and a self-made millionaire who just wanted to help out other locals. I love these kinds of stories, and this looks like it will make for a wonderful inspiring film.

Rory Kinnear stars in the film as Dave Fishwick, who sells vans in Burnley, Lancashire. “Once the world's most productive and profitable mill town, Burnley is now one of the most deprived and neglected towns in the UK. Dave, however, through a combination of hustle and hard work, has done well for himself - so well that in the wake of the last financial crisis he started lending money at reduced rates to his customers and local businesses. When some of those businesses start making money they ask Dave to reinvest it for them. This gives Dave an idea. Why not set up a tiny local bank that uses local money to fund local enterprise? He will call it: The Bank of Dave. The elite, London based financial authorities however, haven't granted a new bank license for over 150 years and they're not keen to grant one to a van salesmen from Burnley. Dave must enlist the help of a London lawyer, junior doctor Alexandra and some local rock legends to help fight the good cause.”

The movie was directed by Chris Foggin, and it also stars Joel Fry, Jo Hartley, and Phoebe Dynevor, and features music and performances by Def Leppard. Samuel Goldwyn Films will released Bank of Dave in select theaters on VOD starting on August 25th, 2023.
