Last updated 24th Jan 2025
It’s the Plymouth premiere tonight of a film, largely made by marines who’ve served in the city, about their real-life experiences.
'Sunray: Fallen Soldier' is being released internationally today and shown across 20 different streaming platforms worldwide.
Filming locations were spread across Portsmouth, Dorset and Hull.
Tip Cullen, a former Marine and now an actor who has the lead role, will tonight and tomorrow host a Q&A at Everyman in Plymouth.
Written, directed, produced, edited and performed by former Royal Marines Commandos, the production actively employed veterans throughout its creation, both in front and behind the camera.
It has garnered support from the armed forces community and has already attracted critical acclaim.
A spokesperson for Everyman Plymouth said it is bringing 'a uniquely poignant experience to the historic Royal William Yard, which is just metres from the spiritual home of the Royal Marines at Stonehouse Barracks, in a city with deep connections to the armed forces.
"Sunray: Fallen Soldier draws on authentic military experiences, including the profound impact of losing fellow servicemen. The film provides a platform for sharing important stories about service, sacrifice, and the real impacts of PTSD."
