Lots of familiar MAD faces in this trailer, which is lovely to see.

No Gentle Goodnight is a new proof-of-concept trailer from Sunny Runny Films & Going Nowhere Productions - set in Runcorn and packed with grit, emotion, dark humour and heart.

Really pleased to see so many talented people involved in a project like this.

You don’t have to see the whole path. Just trust yourself enough to take the next step.

Whether you’re creating, acting, or writing, progress isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about showing up with faith in yourself and your craft.

Every small move forward matters more than you think!🎭
