The epic 5 year production & release journey of Great in Britain: The Movie is a story of determination, not giving up and overcoming the odds. The film was written and directed by writer and photographer, Howard Webster. Production primarily took place in Kew, Surrey with the final scenes of the movie being shot in Tadworth, Surrey after an epic production journey that spanned two referendums and one Brexit. The film began production in March 2014 with its final scenes being shot at the end of 2018 and post-production completing in 2019.
In 2015 a film festival cut of the movie was created under the film's working title, Meet Pursuit Delange: The Movie. This film festival cut of the picture is shorter and is missing key scenes which were not filmed at the time. This early version was shown at the Raindance Film Festival in October 2015 where an extra screening had to be added due to public demand for tickets. Despite this it still took until 2019 to complete the film. The picture finally had a boutique UK theatrical release in 2019.
The film led to a spin-off comedy and interview podcast called Great in Britain Radio with Season 1 being downloaded in 100 countries. A second season is now being planned for 2022.
Great in Britain: The Movie is currently only available as a rental on Prime Video in the UK and USA.

The movie's 2019 theatrical release in the UK has caused some controversy. One church group refused to allow the film to be screened at a venue two days before the advertised screening was set to go ahead. 'We decided not to make a big deal of it,' says the movie's director, Howard Webster, 'the potential tabloid newspaper headline MOVIE STARRING GOD BANNED BY CHURCH does rather write itself and we weren't sure it was the kind of attention we wanted to encourage and decided to take the high-ground.'
