No narration. No interviews. Just access.
“Dynamite” — a “rare chance to witness the sparks that fly when business, football and machismo meet.”
The GuardianThe Four Year Plan established Ad Hoc Films’ reputation for extraordinary access and uncompromising observational filmmaking. Over four years, we were given remarkable access inside Queens Park Rangers, filming in the boardroom, dressing room and corridors of power as a group of billionaire owners attempted to transform a club on the brink of financial collapse into a Premier League team. With no narration and no interviews, the cameras simply captured the people running the club as events unfolded, often revealing far more than anyone could have anticipated. The Guardian called the footage “dynamite” and a “rare chance to witness the sparks that fly when business, football and machismo meet”, later describing the film as “the most vivid insight into the running of a football club yet committed to film.” The result was a candid, extraordinary and often astonishing portrait of power, ego, money and football.
