It’ll Never Work follows the real-life struggle of converting the UK’s first fishing boat to solar and electric power to fish at a competitive and commercial level.

Set on Scotland’s West coast in the scenic and alluring Argyll village of Tayvallich. Over the course of almost a year it runs with the highs, lows and challenges related to the venture as well as the determination and skillset of the builder and skipper.

The young local director Joe Osborn has skilfully engrained the seasonal moods, the strong local community spirit and the Argyll way of doing things into a compelling story of our times. One fisherman’s conviction towards the carbon free future we all need to embrace. A small film, but a powerful one.

“What stands out is that there is no pretence or acting, its all real. This is a real story not a tv or movie story”

“dare I say, shades of Local Hero”

“inspirational and feel good”

Director Jo Osborne, UK, 2024, PG, 57mins
