​ FEATURE DOCUMENTARY FILM : Mostly Harmless: The Iconic Story of Hitchhiker's Guide To the Galaxy

About The Film

Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is one of the most prolifiic, funny and multidimensional stories every told and we're making a documentary exploring its iconic history. We're doing a deep dive into "All things Hitchhiker" from its start as a radio comedy on BBC to the stage shows, novels, comic books, merchandise, the computer game, the 2005 feature film and all points in between. We'll talk to those who worked with, for adn alongside Adams to bring the classic to life in its various forms and explore its ins and outs.

H2G2 wasn't just a great story, it was occupied an important point in the proliferation of two important trends; the late 70's/early 80's British cultural invasion that included comedy, music and fashion and the popularity of Science Fiction alongside the Star Treks and Star Wars. But Adams' tale is only half the story. H2G2 was unique and timely, tapping larger social trends in a way that allowed it to resonate and stick with audiences in a way that few properties have since or can today. H2G2 was one of the original fan-driven properties, so our film would not be complete without an exploration of the history of Hitchhiker's from the fan community.
