Reservoir Docs has acquired documentary “The Other Fellow,” which is about several men named James Bond, like the movie’s hero. It has debuted the trailer (below).
The comedy-thriller premiered and won an award at Doc Edge New Zealand, and gets its European premiere in Dinard at the British Film Festival in France.
In Jamaica in 1952, author Ian Fleming needs a name for his suave, sophisticated secret agent, so he steals one from an unaware birdwatcher and creates a pop-culture phenomenon about the ultimate fictional alpha-male.
In 2022, the year of 007’s 60th anniversary onscreen, Australian filmmaker Matthew Bauer is on a global mission to discover the lasting, contrasting and very personal impacts of sharing such an identity with James Bond.
From a Swedish 007 super-fan with a World War II past, a gay New York theater director, an African American Bond accused of murder, and two resilient women caught up in it all,...

Boutique production company Mindboggler has made a documentary that looks into how people’s lives are affected by having the name James Bond.
Titled The Other Fellow, the doco was shot during the release of the most recent Bond film Skyfall. It covers the lives of ten men in different parts of the world who share a name with the double agent.
Fans can find out more about the film and meet the James Bonds featured in the doco, who are posting on the film’s Facebook page.
Mindboggler hopes to get distribution via film festivals, and has seen the trailer shared on 007 fansites and elsewhere.
The Other Fellow’s director Matthew Bowyer said: “After considering everything from ‘Meet the Bonds’ to ‘007up’ we thought this was the most appropriate title for our film. It sums up the life experience of the men featured in the movie – living every day as the ‘other’ James Bond.
