Harris Dickinson On The Inspiration For Cannes Directing Debut ‘Urchin’ And Why Upcoming John Lennon Role Is His “Every Day Right Now”
Harris Dickinson on his directorial debut ‘Urchin’ and playing John Lennon In Sam Mendes’ The Beatles project: "They’re my every day right now"
Since his 2017 breakout in Sundance hit Beach Rats, Harris Dickinson has been keeping busy, averaging two or three films a year in projects as diverse as Ruben Östlund’s Triangle of Sadness, Steve McQueen’s Blitz and Halina Reijn’s Babygirl, in which he co-starred with Nicole Kidman. Somehow, though, he found time to write and direct a movie of his own; starring Fear the Walking Dead ’s Frank Dillane, Urchin tells the story of Michael, a homeless young man who winds up in prison after an unprovoked assault. They go out each day of the week in different areas, in groups of four, five, six volunteers, and basically refer people to StreetLink and hand out food supplies, teas, coffees, take requests, things like that.
