If you fancy seeing it, and fancy supporting some extremely independent British cinema, you can book tickets on the Cambridge Picturehouse website
That is all.
Gareth Jones’ film Desire has recently been playing on a small thearical release in London and the provinces. Shot in 2009, the film went down well on the festival circuit, a highpoint being its nomination for Best British Feature Film at Raindance in 2009.
Here’s what some of the critics are saying:
“…a nicely staged blend of artfully shot sexuality and repressed drama, distinctive through its elegant widescreen cinematography”
Mark Adams, ScreenDaily
“…pin-sharp visuals”
Andrew Pulver, The Guardian
“Cinematographer Alex Ryle makes intelligent use of encompassed space in acclaimed screenwriter Gareth Jones’ directorial debut Desire.”
David Parkinson, Empire Online
The Summer House, directed by Daisy Gili, which I shot in 2008 stars Talulah Riley and a slightly-before-he-was-a-global-megastar Robert Pattinson.
Check out the review of the film at The Videodrome – here’s an extract:
“…director Daisy Gili, writer Ian Beck and cinematographer Alex Ryle have crafted a superb evocation of time and place in a remarkable twelve minutes.”
