Mum & Dad: not suitable for children...

The line-up for the Edinburgh International Film Festival was announced this week and the great news for us is that we're in it.

'Mum & Dad' is going to have its world premiere at the festival at midnight on Saturday 21st June at the Filmhouse in Edinburgh, with a second screening on Wednesday 25th June at 10:15pm. The slots are great - especially the midnight screening, which shouts out 'horror' (as well as 'time to get pissed beforehand'). The film is in the 'Night Moves' section of the programme, which, although it sounds a bit like a 1980s George Benson album, (or maybe an early Nineties straight-to-video erotic thriller starring Jeff Fahey and Shannon Whirry..) should be quite interesting and eclectic, including films from South Korea ('Cadaver'), Spain ('Shiver', 'Time Crimes') and Denmark ('Just Another Love Story').

Lisa and me and some of the cast are going to go up for the festival, and in between now and then we've got our work cut out trying to publicize the film as much as possible so that we get good crowds for the screenings. To that end, we've put together a trailer, which you can see here.


I'll post more stuff about the film, either here or on our facebook page as and when we manage to sort it out...
