 Critically-acclaimed gay film Weekend has won two accolades at the British Independent Film Awards, last weekend.
The celebrated lo-fi British drama picked up two BIFA awards on Sunday 4 December for Achievement In Production and Most Promising Newcomer for the film’s star, Tom Cullen.
Producer Tristan Goligher and director Andrew Haigh accepted the award, describing the win as one “genuinely for every person involved in the making of this film, from the cast, through all the crew, and all the companies who supported us. I'd also like to single out the line producer, Rachel Dargavel, a producer in her own right, and without whom the making of this film would have been a very different experience."
Weekend opened in the UK cinemas on 4 November after a successful run in America, where the film has currently grossed over $500,000 from theatrical and theatrical VoD revenue.
The film at present has made almost £200,000 at the UK box office since its release.
Made on a shoe string budget of £120,000, it was financed by EM Media, Creative Scotland, and also the Scottish production company Synchronicity Films and distributed in the UK by Peccadillo Pictures.
