'Forgotten' was written and directed by first time filmmaker, Lewis William Robinson at the age of 19. He was inspired to make the film to get a better understanding of Alzheimer's Disease after a family member was diagnosed.
On the last day of the shoot, the boom mic broke and the crew had to find another solution to record the sound, but because the kit room at MetFilm School, Ealing was closed over the weekend of filming, they had to improvise and use the sound mixer as a microphone.
In the film, Grahame Edward's character, Roy Bennett writes on a typewriter. It's paying homage to Woody Allen, who typewrites his scripts. One of Lewis William Robinson's favourite films of his is 'Midnight in Paris'.
Mike Evans and Lewis William Robinson met each other on another student's film shoot, where they both acted together in a scene. When Robinson sent out the casting call for the part of James Bennett, Mike's agency responded with his profile. Having seen Mike act already, Robinson thought he was the perfect choice for the character and offered him the role.
