Great film which reminds us that it's not about the size of your physical being, your wallet or your renown but the size of your heart and the way you impact positively on the lives of those you meet that means the most.
Brings to light a local (Durham, UK) man who had a global impact and touched the lives of everyone he met; followed his dreams and could pivot when needed to whether that be to score hoops, a movie or to make someone smile.
Watched the premiere with my family and my son said that Neil teaches us to believe in ourselves and that has to be a great take away for a 10 year old x.

Big Smooth is a stunning documentary that has truly captured the beauty within such a wonderful, larger than life character. Sensitive storytelling at its best!
We see the highs and lows all while being taken on an emotional journey of discovery with real attention to detail throughout. The transatlantic element really brings some great characters to the screen and the interviewees talk so passionately about Neil. The enthusiasm is infectious.
The music, the footage, the editing, the whole tone of this documentary was simply wonderful. Amazing documentary that has the power to really inspire others.

I was fortunate to attend the fantastic premiere of #BigSmoothFilm at the Gala Theatre in Durham. It was a packed house, and the crowd were on the edge of their seats.
Big Smooth is an inspiring tale of kindness, humanity, self-belief and more. The story is well set out, the interviews are clear, the sound crisp and transitions between scenes slick.
I found the film a moving experience and a joy to watch. My thanks go to Paul Stainforth and all involved in supporting this fantastic film. A special mention must also go to the Fingleton family for letting this great story be screened.
I encourage you to watch Big Smooth whenever you have a chance.

I was lucky enough to attend the premiere of this excellent documentary about Neil Fingleton, who found success in America playing basketball and later moved into acting. This was a touching story about someone who turned something that could have been a burden (his record height) into an asset and was the jumping off point for his success.
The film is a good mixture of talking heads of Neil's family and those who knew him through his two fascinating careers and also archive footage of his basketball games. It is both funny and moving and provides a view of someone who was once the tallest man in Britain but was also so much more than that.

Just been to watch the premiere at the Gala theatre in Neil's hometown of Durham, the film was a brilliant tribute to a well remembered man, striking attention to detail with some brilliant interviews from some key people from Neil's sadly short but very fulfilled life.
Can always remember seeing Neil in and around Durham back in the 90's / early 00's, especially in Cafe Rock with his mates drinking three bottles at a time!! Didn't realise just how much basketball he played in America and this film totally shows how well respected he was out there not just for his skills but also his kindness and big heart
Bravo to Paul and the team for giving us all an insight into big Neils life.
