UK Release Dates announced for award-winning thriller “B&B”
Award-winning suspense thriller B&B, written and directed by BAFTA-nominated Joe Ahearne and produced by Jayne Chard, is set to be released this month in the US, Canada and UK. Peccadillo Pictures represents the film in the UK while US and Canada distribution is executed by Breaking Glass Pictures.
Theatrical Release dates: from October 17th at Hampstead Everyman Cinema in London. A Q&A with writer-director Joe Ahearne and actor Paul McGann will be held during the opening screening on October 17th.
DVD and VOD Release date in the UK: October 23rd.
“I wanted to do a thriller in the Hitchcock vein but with gay characters making the wrong choices and getting terrified out of their wits. B&B goes beyond the gay relationship movie. It’s a thriller with a married couple at the centre, something I haven’t seen before,” says writer/director Joe Ahearne.
SYNOPSIS
Marc and Fred exercise their civil rights by checking in at a B&B run by devout Christian Jeff and his teenage son Paul. Jeff has already been successfully sued after he refused them a double bed. Our heroes have come back to demonstrate who’s in the minority now. All goes to plan until a thuggish Russian checks in. Is Alex a fellow gay campaigner or a neo-Nazi come to support homophobia overseas? The gag quickly runs sour as our couple begin to fear they’ve been set up for a beating. A terrifying death occurs but not the one we’ve been expecting. When Marc and Fred uncover a cold-blooded murder they realize they’re next.
