The Lost World of Mr. Hardy is a feature-length documentary film about a much loved family fishing tackle business. It was directed by Andy Heathcote and Heike Bachelier.[1] The film tells the story of the disappearing art of the craftsman through the history of the Hardy Brothers, the Rolls-Royce of fishing tackle makers. The film includes rediscovered footage of salmon fishing 80 years ago shown with old film reels,[2] filmed by L.R. Hardy and his chauffeur 'Appleby' in the 1920s.

The film was produced by Trufflepig Films who successfully self-distributed the project giving the film a UK cinema release in 2009/10.[3] The film played well in rural cinemas across England.
