The transgressive love story, ‘Kelly + Victor’, will be screened at the SXSW Film Festival.
Produced by Dublin’s Venom Films and the UK’s Hot Property Films, the film stars English actor Julian Morris and IFTA nominated Northern Irish actress Antonia Campbell-Hughes as the titular couple who meet on the dancefloor of a Liverpool nightclub and consequently embark on a journey filled with drugs, alcohol, and violence.
Andrew Freedman produced for Venom with Janine Marmot for Hot Property. Irish cinematographer Piers McGrail worked on the project, which Kieran Evans directed. The film was shot in Liverpool in 2011.
It received its premiere at the BFI London Film Festival in 2012, and earned both Campbell-Hughes and Morris a Rising Star nod from the festival.
The film was funded by the Irish Film Board, the Film Agency for Wales and Domino Publishing Company, and was co-developed by Film4 and Hot Property Films.
The film premieres at the festival on Saturday, 9th March in Austin, Texas.
