The Newport Beach Film Festival is proud to host the West Coast Premiere of:


Doctor Who Am I (2022)


Documentary filmmaker Vanessa Yuille (in her debut feature) follows friend and co-director Matthew Jacobs (British writer of the 1996 TV movie Doctor Who) as he is reluctantly pulled back into the fandom that rejected his work 25 years earlier. The journey not only becomes hilarious and emotionally perilous for the duo but also reveals a touching and quirky face-off between the American Doctor Who fans and Matthew himself. As they explore the fandom Matthew unexpectedly finds himself a kindred part of this close-knit yet vast family of fans. The documentary deals with the desire to belong to a community and how people can become nourished and enriched by the experience.
