Bolan’s Shoes takes us on a tumultuous journey through the height of T. Rex mania in 1970s Liverpool. It captures the heady exhilaration of glam rock mania through the experiences of a group of over-excited kids from a local children’s home before a devastating road accident changes their lives forever. 

Years later, and still clinging to the adoration of her childhood idol, survivor Penny takes best friend and fellow Marc Bolan fan, Steffan, to visit his shrine in London, but a chance encounter there catapults her back to the horror she had tried so hard to forget. Light-hearted comedy and supernatural chills abound in this inspirational story that explores the enduring legacy of childhood trauma and the life-affirming power of music.

Terri Dwyer, Co-Chief Executive Officer at Buffalo Dragon said:

“I was deeply moved by the effects a childhood tragedy had on our two leading characters, the themes of childhood bullying is something I could really relate to. The narrative has such heart and against the backdrop of a glam rock Liverpool, I knew it could be very cinematic and a joy to watch it unfold.”

Bolan’s Shoes has been released in 2023 to coincide with the 46th anniversary of Mark Bolan’s death and what would have been his 76th birthday.
