Debut feature film Tummy Monster from Glasgow-based Irish/Scottish filmmaker Ciaran Lyons is making its way to cinemas throughout the UK this Spring kicking off at Glasgow Film Theatre on 1st of May. Screenings of the darkly comical psychological thriller, which audiences have described as “positively unhinged” and “too weird to even rate,” will be accompanied by Q&As with the filmmaker. Select screenings will include a special Q&A appearance from lead actor and rising star Lorn MacDonald (Bridgerton, Beats). The director will also visit various universities and colleges across the country to host DIY filmmaking workshops for students at earlier stages in their career.
Shot over just 5 days, the whirlwind, low-budget, performance-led production, was shot on location in Glasgow’s east end. Ciaran teamed up with longstanding collaborator Director of Photography David Liddell (A Banquet, The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde) who headed up a skeleton crew to create an intense, hallucinatory atmosphere.
The tour kicks off Thursday 1st May at Glasgow Film Theatre. Find full details and links to book your ticket here.
