Algorithm Party with Q+A

Directed by  Roy Boulter
Starring PJ Smith

Algorithm Party is the full-length feature film featuring the spoken word artist ‘Roy’ (PJ Smith) adapted from his debut publication of the same name (published by Rough Trade).

Algorithm Party is an authentic, forthright glimpse into working class life, told with a blunt honesty with humour and compassion.

Roy’s deft, articulate and startlingly observed musings veer from the comic to the calamitous in a breath, cutting to the quick of the broad swathe of people and personalities that comprise his native city, from struggling parents to small-time criminals, pent-up white-collar workers to drinkers long lost to the ale. Roy’s eye is as keen as it is generous, presenting, in the great tradition of English realism, the real lives of people up against it in all sorts of ways, muddling through, trying to make the best of it.

The film is the full-length directorial debut by Roy Boulter – drummer in Liverpool band The Farm. The film is shot mostly on location in the iconic St Georges Hall Concert Room in Liverpool.
