A Small Fortune is a 2021 Canadian crime drama film, written and directed by Adam Perry.[1] The film stars Stephen Oates as Kevin Doucette, a man living in a small village in Prince Edward Island who makes a subsistence living harvesting sea moss on the coast; resisting the urging of his wife Sam (Liane Balaban) that he leave the province to look for more stable and well-paying work, one day he finds a large stash of money on the beach and hides it for himself, only to be drawn into danger when Troy (Joel Thomas Hynes) arrives looking for it.[2]
The cast also includes Matt Cooke and Andrea Bang as police officers.[2]
The film, Perry's feature directorial debut, was an expansion of his earlier short film A Blessing from the Sea, and received funding from Telefilm Canada in 2019.[3]
The film premiered at the FIN Atlantic Film Festival in September 2021,[4] and was screened at the Charlottetown Film Festival in October.[5] It was subsequently screened at the 2022 Manchester Film Festival, where it won the award for Best Screenplay,[6] and at the 2022 Canadian Film Festival,[7] before going into commercial release in April 2022.[1]
