@FilmFanStevie @BFI They should also have the recent underseen British independent gem Heavyweight which won @MrChrisAnt best director of a UK feature at last year's @Raindance, where it was the opening film. It's a TKO of a movie and deserves mucn more exposure.

[Variety @Variety]

#sponsored | Director and writer Christopher M. Anthony’s “Heavyweight,” an intense boxing drama in which none of the fighting happens in the ring, stars Jordan Bolger, Nicholas Pinnock, Jason Isaacs, Sienna Guillory and Osy Ikhile. From perfecting the script and enhancing the story with music to the months of training and preparation, Anthony, his cast and artisans discuss the making of this “very visceral film.”
