Typist Artist Pirate King is a wildly original and deeply touching road movie inspired by the life and art of Audrey Amiss—an eccentric, overlooked British artist whose extraordinary creativity was long overshadowed by her struggles with mental health. In this imaginative re-telling, Audrey sets off across England with her ever-patient psychiatric nurse, embarking on a quixotic journey to attend a long-dreamed-of art exhibition.
As the pair travel through villages, towns and landscapes, they encounter an array of people and situations—by turns comic, moving and quietly profound. What begins as a simple road trip unfolds into a portrait of friendship, freedom and the power of self-expression, shining a light on an artist whose brilliance was never fully recognised in her lifetime.
Caroline Morley’s film is laugh-out-loud funny, humane and inventive, balancing humour with poignancy in a way that makes Audrey’s story unforgettable. It’s a celebration of art, resilience and individuality—an uplifting cinematic journey through England, and through the heart of an extraordinary woman.
