The film, Hallam Foe, sta­rring Jamie Bell and direc­ted by my old friend, David Mac­ken­zie, pre­miers in Lon­don this Fri­day, 31st of August.
A wee note from David on Face­book:

Dear Face­book Friends,
Our film Hallam Foe opens in the UK this fri­day (31st). The suc­cess of the film is sig­ni­fi­cantly depen­dent on the num­ber of peo­ple that go to see it during its ope­ning wee­kend.
The buzz on the film is great and if you want to see it (those of you that haven’t already) please could you try to make it during this wee­kend (or fai­ling that, this week).
In our case the UK ope­ning wee­kend is even more sig­ni­fi­cant because it is the first release of the film and the eyes of the dis­tri­bu­tors from the rest of the world are on Hallam this wee­kend.
I would really appre­ciate it if you could pass this onto your friends and for them to pass it onto their friends. Face­book only allows one to send mes­sa­ges to 20 friends at a time, so this is a very per­so­nal kind of spam!
Many thanks and big love,
David

I’m going to a pri­vate scree­ning in London’s West End tomo­rrow night [Thurs­day 30th] at 6.30pm. I’ve just been given another small hand­ful of tic­kets, if you fancy coming along shoot me an e-mail. Hope to see you there! Thanks.
[Fri­day Update:] Robin Raven, who saw the movie last night, left the follo­wing com­ment below:

Thanks for the tic­kets Hugh. I thought the film was superb — a very weird crea­tive ten­sion wrap­ped in a beau­ti­fully sen­ti­men­tal story. I really hope it does well this wee­kend and will be telling all and sundry to go see it!

Thanks, Robin. Lovely to meet you last night :)

    I went to see it at the Edin­burgh film fes­ti­val where Jamie Bell and David Mac­ken­zie intro­duce the film. One of the best I’ve seen this year. I even wrote about it on my per­so­nal blog.

    Hey, would love to shoot you an email con­vin­cing you how much you should give me a free tic­ket but I have a date with Banksy/Andy Warhol then Bonobo after!
    Saw the trai­ler for HF this eve­ning for the first time, whi­list wai­ting for Bourne 3 to come on… Looks like a great film :)

    Just back from watching Hallam Foe, and couldn’t have loved it more. Beau­ti­ful, with beau­ti­fully ugly bits.
