Yours Sincerely
A short film inspired by the letters between Gilbert Bradley and Gordon Bowsher during the second world War. Two men who were in love.
While on military training during World War Two, Gilbert Bradley was in love. He exchanged hundreds of letters with his sweetheart - who merely signed with the initial "G". More than 70 years later, it was discovered that G stood for Gordon.
At the time, not only was homosexuality illegal, but those in the armed forces could be shot for having gay sex. Some of Britain's gay soldiers after risking their lives for their country were persecuted and jailed by the military authorities.
This short piece has been made celebrate those men and women.

DadBod Films is an independent production co. founded by two directors and a producer, Harry, Craig and Rob.
After working together for several years we decided to set up shop as DadBod, with the ultimate goal of having the freedom to make the films we like, the way we like, with the people we like. Which so far is exactly what we’ve done, from TV commercials & branded content to documentaries, music videos and short films.
We work with a lovely pool of directing & producing talent all with the same attitude and attentiveness to every project, be it a big commercial or a mini doc.
With that in mind, there’s nothing we’re not up for chatting about, so get in touch. Apart from Kanye’s run for 2020. Let's not chat about that.
