Gay Film Wins Major Award
Director and screenwriter Andrew Haigh won the award for ‘Best Screenplay’ at the Evening Standard British Film Awards for his film, Weekend.
At the ceremony, which took place at the London Film Museum on Monday February 6, Haigh described the win as "amazing and unexpected; this past year has just been incredible. I just want to thank the actors, Tom and Chris, who really brought so much to the script and I share this with them."
Weekend follows the relationship between Russell (Tom Cullen) and Glen (Chris New) over the course of a weekend. On a Friday night, after a house party with his straight mates, Russell heads out to a nightclub and just before closing time he meets Glen. Over the next 48 hours, Russell and Glen become inseparable, forming a tight bond that neither of them could have predicted - one that may change their lives forever.
The film has grossed more than £200,000 at the UK box office and is scheduled to be released on Blu-ray and DVD on March 19.
