## Executive Summary & Cultural Positioning

Eaten by Lions is a British comedy film directed by Jason Wingard. The film stars Antonio Aakeel as Omar and Jack Carroll as Pete. The story follows half brothers Omar and Pete. When their parents are eaten by lions, they embark on a journey to find Omar's real father. This leads them to Blackpool on a funny and heart-warming journey of self-discovery. Along the way, the brothers encounter the Choudray family, who represent a contemporary example of modern multicultural Britain. In contrast to old-fashioned stereotypes about Blackpool, the comedy is sharp, current, and non-stop. The feature-length film is an adaptation of the director's 2013 short film Going to Mecca, which won best comedy at the Manchester International Film Festival. The film has a runtime of one hour and thirty-four minutes and was released in Great Britain.
