'THE WEDDING RUN'

Speed dating, a cheesy chat show and gate crashing a wedding abroad are some of the antics a group of friends get up to in the exciting new film, 'The Wedding Run.' The storyline tackles family, arranged marriages and inter-racial relationships in a realistic and humorous way. Each character deals with love and responsibility in their own unique and comical way. Produced by The Filim Company and Tower Hamlets Art & Events, this fun-packed comedy adventure uses both stage performances and pre-recorded film sequences to tell the tale of love, friendship and marriage.

Laugh and cry with the friends as they realise that even love has a deadline! Follow them on their last minute trip abroad to gate crash a wedding…but can they stop the ceremony in time?

Kayser A. Foyz, Director, said: "Although we've done many productions in the past, we wanted to do something closer to our hearts. A comedy adventure based on quirky characters really appealed to us. Film and stage is a collaborative process and our superb cast have proven this by bringing in their own flavour to the production and bringing our zany characters off the script and onto the stage."

Kazi Ruksana Begum, Arts Development Officer at Brady Arts & Community Centre said: "As a local film production house, The Filim Company have made many shorts but were keen to work on a local level, looking at issues effecting British Asians in their late twenties. We got involved with this project as it immediately grabbed our attention. It had an innovative way of dealing with cultural issues without demonising anybody."

The film is released in the UK on 17 September 2005.
