A short film by Dave Lee about Hull鈥檚 fourth best poet, Dean Wilson, and his sublime poetry.
鈥淒ean鈥檚 a beautiful soul and I think he鈥檚 the only genius in Hull. I had an idea for filming one of his poems and I phoned him up and said, 鈥榙o you want to do this now?!鈥� It鈥檚 a little portrait of Dean, it鈥檚 like a little Mike Leigh short. He鈥檒l make you laugh, cry, move you.
And by the end of the night he鈥檒l leave you on the floor. He鈥檚 our Ivor Cutler, our John Cooper Clarke. The more people that get to know him, the better. He鈥檚 not the sort of character that seeks out fame and attention so we need to impose that on him.鈥�
