Our Story
In late 2018, John Tueart set out to make a documentary feature film of his Dad’s life to surprise him for a big birthday. 13 months, 69 interviews, and 2 continents later, it was unveiled to his Dad and 40 of his closest friends and family.
In Istanbul Airport the morning after City won the treble in June 2023, John and his Dad were telling some family friends about the film. They turned and said ‘John…maybe you should make films for a living’.
A plane journey home, a few phone calls, a takeaway curry, and a coffee at HOME MCR, and Imprint Films was born.
At the core of Imprint Films is the message of John’s Dad’s film; the imprint you leave on the world around you, the mark you make on your friends, family, clients, and wider community.
