The twenty-second of thirty-seven short films produced by documentary filmmaker Tom Harmer as part of the 52Humans project. Filmed during the COVID-19 pandemic and released weekly for a year, this film follows Matty a resident of Happy Days Ministries who talks about the help he received in turning his life around and how being a father of two boys makes him feel like a millionaire. Title: I’m A Millionaire 22/52 As Matty stands under a tree in the grounds of a large residential building looking contemplative, he talks in voiceover about his chaotic upbring and how a lack of a male role model in his life led him to violence, alcohol, drug abuse and eventually prison. As he makes his way to a shed where he begins to load a wheelbarrow with gardening tools he talks about his partner of 10 years, the mistakes he made with her and the decision to move away from his home in Lincoln to receive help. Sitting at his desk David Forcett from Happy Days Ministries at work changes to him walking and chatting with Matty who explains how much David and Happy Days have done to help turn his life around and reinforce his faith in himself. As Matty pushes the wheelbarrow along a path he talks about being given a second chance without judgement. As he begins to prune a bush, he explains that everyone can change. Over a montage of him with his two sons he explains how being a father makes him feel like a millionaire. Title: I’m a dad now, and that’s all I’ve ever wanted.” Matty End title: www. 52Humans.com
