Synopsis

Set around a small fraternity of blue collar forestry workers, SMALL ENGINE REPAIR is the story of a group of men going nowhere. Doug (Iain Glen) thinks he's a country singer, but he's too old and lacks any motivation or self-belief. He carries around a demo he won't let anyone hear while daydreaming of being heard on the local radio station or playing his mate's bar.

His best friend Bill (Steven Mackintosh) is a worn out mechanic, a hapless loser desperate to persuade his son Tony (Laurence Kinlan) not to leave the family business, the small engine repair shop of the title. With their personal ties disintegrating all around them, Doug suddenly finds himself staring one last chance in the eye and the chance to prove local doubters he has some worth.
