FAINTHEART is released next week but it isn't exactly your traditional cinema release. The film which was co-financed by Screen WM is being released simultaneously and free of charge for one day only, in 150 cinemas and on MySpace on Tuesday 27th January. FAINTHEART will then be available to buy on DVD from Monday 2nd February.
The film was created in such an innovative and ground-breaking way allowing UK MySpace users the opportunity to play an integral part in every stage of the filmmaking process from directing the film, to joining the cast, submitting music for the soundtrack, or being part of the production crew. It is therefore exciting to see this innovation continuing all the way through to the release of the film. I wonder what will follow FAINTHEART this year in terms of non-traditional and innovative filmmaking and releasing. Our region is such a smithy of creativity that you can be sure that the post-FAINTHEART world will have a West Midlands axis.
If you would like to see the fantastic FAINTHEART then the free screenings in our region are:
Birmingham - Vue and Cineworld
Solihull - Cineworld
Wolverhampton - Cineworld
Worcester - Vue
The screenings start at 6.30pm prompt on Tuesday 27th January.
