Short Synopsis... Gone Fishing is the touching story of a boy and old man coming to terms with
bereavement through their shared love of fishing, and the legend of
Goliath, the biggest pike ever caught!
Financed by 150 film makers, Gone Fishing is a
short film directed by
Guerilla Film Makers Handbook
Author Chris Jones. Thirteen minutes of magic that will touch and
move you.
The story is in part autobiographical - while growing up, director
Chris Jones and his friends would often attempt to catch the
legendary 'Oscar the pike', a fish that according to local myth
terrorized the lake at the end of his road, the aptly named Blue
Lagoon. This was the inspiration behind the legend of 'Goliath', the
big fish in this even bigger tale.
