Film Council announce world's first 'E-Premiere'

In a globally groundbreaking move, on Friday September 5 new UK feature film 'This is not a Love Song', written by Simon Beaufoy (The Full Monty) and directed by Bille Eltringham (The Darkest Light) will receive the first-ever E-Premiere in the world, when it is made available for streaming and download on the web and simultaneously streamed and digitally projected in selected cinemas across the UK.
This is not a Love Song, written by Beaufoy in under two weeks and shot in just 12 days on DV cameras (similar to the technology used on smash hit 28 Days Later), is a tightly wound cat and mouse thriller set on desolate moors. After an accidental killing on a remote farm, the local police remain distanced as a group of farm vigilantes set out in search of two ex-cons who flee the scene in horror.
This is not a Love Song will premiere at the Watershed, Bristol; Cornerhouse, Manchester; Showroom, Sheffield; The Other Cinema, London and the Edinburgh Filmhouse.
The film will be available for streaming and download in various size files at www.thisisnotalovesong.com.
