I Want To Tell You A Story

As part of Channel 4’s ambition for their 2015 coverage of The Grand National, Evoke Films were commissioned to create and produce a filmic, innovative opening film; a poetic piece that told the epic and magical history of this ultimate equine endurance race – ‘where anything can happen, and often does’.

Performed by James Nesbitt, and written and directed by Simon Baker, “I Want to Tell You a Story” is an ode to ‘The People’s Race’, drawing the viewer into a compelling, almost otherworldly, journey through tales, fables and legends.
Called ‘utterly magnificent’ by Jay Hunt, C4’s Chief Creative Officer
