Interview with Kyle Rankin, Director of RUN HIDE FIGHT

Ahead of FrightFest's UK premiere of RUN HIDE FIGHT at the Glasgow Film Festival, director Kyle Rankin talks about the personal tragedy that inspired the film, the influence of 70s cinema and the huge importance of film festivals.

 

RUN HIDE FIGHT was inspired by a tragic incident in your own past so did that make it a harder script to write?

In 1999, my best friend and fellow filmmaker, Shayne Worcester, was gunned down during a mugging in San Francisco. It came to light years later that the event was a gang initiation — meaning guys who wanted to be part of a gang were tasked with going out and killing a random civilian that night. He was only 29.

An Impossible Project UK Trailer

In the world we live in, sometimes a digital download or an image on a screen just isn't enough – we're missing physical connection. We need to hold and feel to connect, awaken our senses and evoke our emotions.

Digital has taken over our lives, from the constant buzz of phone notifications to social-media stories that disappear forever and millions of photos stored on our devices rather than taking pride of place on the mantelpiece. We have apps for everything, from fitness to baking and even for sleeping. We're reading e-books, streaming, sharing, posting – this is our reality. It's time for a reset.

An inspiring new feature documentary AN IMPOSSIBLE PROJECT that celebrates all things analogue is an antidote to digital. This warm and witty celebration of a counter-revolution – the comeback of analogue – is set for its UK premiere from Bohemia Media. The film – shot on 35mm and with an amazing live orchestra score will premiere on "virtual cinema" platform, YourScreen (https://watch.yourscreen.net/) from 1 March and on digital platforms from 15 March 2021 then in cinemas at a later date (subject to Covid restrictions).

Channel 4 to embark on Sex Odyssey (w/t) with Alice Levine

Channel 4 is to go under Britain's bedsheets to find out what turns the nation on. In a 3x60 series from Mindhouse Productions, broadcaster Alice Levine will be asking whether there's any such thing as "normal" when it comes to sex and sexuality in the 2020s.

Since lockdown, there's been a 900% increase in Brits searching for couples' sex toys while subscriptions to webcam services have skyrocketed. And when asked what we're most excited to do when life returns to normal, kinkier sex is a top priority. Is Britain finally shaking off its old conventions on sex?

To answer that question, Alice - co-creator of the internationally renowned podcast 'My Dad Wrote a Porno' - will immerse herself in the lives of sexual adventurers up and down Britain, meeting those pushing the boundaries of sex, intimacy and relationships.

In the series, executive produced by documentary-maker Louis Theroux, Alice will be invited into the nation's bedrooms, challenging her own preconceptions and discovering what happens when the shackles of sexual conformity are abandoned.

Alice Levine said: "It's a real honour to be the first presenter Louis is working with as an executive producer, especially after so many years watching his programmes. We are both fascinated by the contradictions of people's lives - the strange and transgressive, next to the mundane and ordinary, in one person's story. I hope that these films will be both warm and funny, surprising and sensitive. And if we can take the taboo out of talking about sex, that's a huge bonus."

Louis Theroux, Executive Producer said: "I've always seen films themed around sex as the most challenging but when you get them right the most rewarding. Our sexual interests are arguably the most fundamental aspect of who we are and we're living in a time when a lot of our assumptions are being rethought. This is a chance to examine all of that, and doing it with a presenter whose warmth, wit, intelligence, and sensitivity make her an ideal guide through sometimes difficult terrain."

Starring Westworld's Katja Herbers, THE COLUMNIST, a stand-out at last year's FrightFest, is a savagely satirical, gory and wholly thrilling look at what happens when the victim of online abuse says "enough is enough".  Smartly scripted and slicky directed, with some wonderfully pitch-black set pieces, it sits nicely alongside women-turn-the-tables hits Prevenge, Revenge, Promising Young Woman, and the recent Danish release The Exception.

Featuring a fantastic performance from Herbers, and a scene-stealing Bram van der Kelen as the author of shock horror novels, THE COLUMNIST is sure to provoke debate around the prescient topic of social media's impact on basic civility. It's Death Wish for the online generation, and you'll be cheering as Herbers gets the next foul-mouthed victim in her sights.

Synopsis:

Newspaper columnist and author Femke Boot is suffering from writers' block, and her mood isn't improved by the torrent of abuse and death threats she receives daily on social media. When she discovers that her obnoxious, loud neighbour is one of the anonymous people posting vile comments, she snaps and takes matters into her own hands. As she finds herself able to write again, she sets out on a mission - track down the trolls and deliver some swift, polite and deadly vengeance.

Interview with Chris Bell - Director of The Heiress

Ahead of the UK Digital release of THE HEIRESS on March 15, 2021, director Chris Bell talks about familial horror influences, his South London 'hooligangster' phase and learning new lockdown skills.

How did you get the idea for THE HEIRESS?

I was in my local library when I came across a painting. The artist was a local lady. I was drawn to this eerie artwork and I knew I had to meet her. When we did meet I told her that I was going to write a film inspired by this painting. Not only that but I promised to feature her in the movie – and I did just that.

Myself, alongside Danny and Kelly Prescott, created the script for what became The Heiress. I'd arranged a meeting with producer Jezz Vernon, whom I had recently worked with on another movie. We pitched the script to him and from there he came on board.

ITV commissions new prime time game show Moneyball, hosted by Ian Wright

Hosted by football legend, Ian Wright, Moneyball is an exciting prime time game show where the difference between winning life-changing money and going home with nothing rests entirely on the bounce of a ball.  

Navigating their way through a series of questions, contestants can accumulate large sums of money for every correct answer. But as the cash up for grabs continues to climb, so does the pressure, leaving both players and viewers in suspense.

The chance of losing it all looms large, and players may consider an early exit with the prize fund. But in a unique game show twist, they have to take one final shot, which could see them forced back into the game or leaving with their hard earned cash.

Ian Wright says: "Look who's got a brand new game show! From the moment ITV got in touch with the idea, I was hooked and there was no way I could've said no to Moneyball. It's exhilarating, fun, dramatic, everything you want from a game show. Even though I know I'll want everyone to win the money and even though I know I'll be in bits when they lose, I can't wait for everyone at home to experience the real drama of Moneyball."
