The documentary also features an interview with Barnsley legend Graham Ibbeson who chats about his famous Laurel and Hardy statue in Ulverston.
Interviews took place in North Yorkshire, West Yorkshire and South Yorkshire with filming also taking place in Ulverston including outside the house where Stan Laurel was born.
Dean said: “We are very proud of this film.
“It’s a personal history of the comedy duo, especially Stan Laurel’s Yorkshire family.
“It has its highs and lows from stepping on the stage at The Grand Opera House in York where the boys performed in 1954 to the heartbreaking moment of visiting Stan’s grandparents grave in Dewsbury.
“Interviewing John Burton, Dave Ballard and Andy Waterman and seeing their passion brought a huge smile to our faces.
“Laurel and Hardy will always be the greatest comedy duo of all time and we feel this film will be pretty special for their fans.
“We can’t wait for everyone to watch it.”
