The quest for a rare comic book provides the basis for an often amusing hybrid of romantic comedy and hectic chase thriller in Electric Man, a promising first feature from co-writer/director David Barras.
Last week I was fortunate enough to be invited to the first screening of the microbudget Scottish comics themed movie Electric Man at the Edinburgh Filmmhouse. Regular readers will know we’ve been following the production since the Dugbus crew set around trying to raise some independent finances for the film the other year and just recently we posted up a link to a trailer for the film. Well it is in the can and after seeing it I can tell you it is an absolute wee cracker of a film.
Electric Man will have its UK premiere at the Glasgow Film Festival on the 23rd February as part of the Kapow! strand curated by Mark Millar.
Tickets available through link below.
