After charming audiences for the last few weeks at cinemas and gaining loads of fans in the process, the people behind Weekend had plenty to cheer about yesterday when they won two gongs at the British Independent Film Awards.
The film, which is undoubtedly a gay classic in the making, picked up Most Promising Newcomer for the film’s star, Tom Cullen, as well as Best Achievement In Production. And considering it was only nominated in those categories, that’s a 100% success rate!
It’s a great result for a movie that many thought might get completely ignored outside Gay Film Festivals simply because of its subject matter, but which has been embraced by far more than just a core gay audience.If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out as soon as possible (it’ll be on DVD and Blu-ray in March).
