Synopsis:

Chance brings two people together in this romantic drama. David (James Brough) is a guy from London who has a one-night stand with a woman from Liverpool. Afterwards, David tries to return something to her; this act of kindness leads to an unpleasant meeting with her boyfriend, a night of heavy drinking, and a mugging that leaves him flat broke and with no way to get home. David ends up at a dog track, hoping a lucky bet will turn his pocket change into fare back to London, and on the advice of a passer-by named Tina (Helen Elizabeth), he picks a dog that wins big. With hours to kill before he can take the train home, David persuades Tina to call in sick to work and show him the town; she agrees, and over the course of the day these two strangers explore Liverpool, and find they have more in common than they imagined. But can their new bond last beyond a single day on the town? DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME was the first theatrical feature from actor turned director David Morrissey.

The film follows David (James Brough), a twentysomething London lad who finds himself a fish out of water in Liverpool following a one-night stand. Attempting to win his fare back to the big smoke, David strikes up a rapport with demure betting shop assistant Tina (Helen Elizabeth) and his plans suddenly change. Deftly played by its young leads (the authors of the stage play on which the film is based), Don t Worry About Me makes sublime use of Morrissey s Liverpool hometown to reveal how we might find beauty and friendship in the most unexpected places. Extras: Theatrical trailer, Making of, Short film - Bring Me Your Love

After a one-night-stand gone wrong, David, every inch the Southern geezer, winds up stranded in Liverpool with only some loose change in his pocket and a strong desire to get back to London. Placing a bet to try and win his fare home, he meets helpful local lass Tina, and plans take a different turn. Once he's talked her into skipping work for the rest of the day, she leads him on a tour of the city, and sightseeing leads to sharing stories and, in fits and starts, a connection grows.
