You Instead to show at T in the Park

Film shot at last year's fest returns for 'people's premiere'

by Amber Wilkinson

Indie rom-com You Instead, which was filmed guerilla style at last year’s T in the Park, is returning to the music festival one year later for a"people’s premiere".

Revellers arriving at the Balado site in Kinross-shire tomorrow will be treated to an exclusive one-off screening at 9pm in the campsite cinema in Sunset Strip ahead of the movie’s national cinema release this September 2011.

The film sees an indie singer (Luke Treadaway) and the star of a big US rock band (Natalie Tena) accidentally handcuffed together at the music festival, leading to frustration, conflict and, gradually, romance.

Director David Mackenzie said: “After shooting the film entirely at last year’s T in the Park, it was only natural that we brought it back to where it was born, one year on. The fans – as well as the festival - are what made the project, so I’m delighted they will get to see the finished film before anyone else!”

T in the Park director Geoff Ellis added: “We’re really thrilled that we’re able to share You Instead exclusively with fans at this year’s T in the Park, just one year after it was filmed at the festival.

“The film really captures the spirit of what T in the Park is about, and we can’t wait to get our 18th year underway with this exciting preview screening.”
