Straight To DVD Big Fat Gypsy Gangster

WHAT I ENDED UP APPYLING

  • My film might achieve extra distribution through straight-to-DVD

Big Fat Gypsy Gangster

Ricky Grover, 2011

DISTRIBUTOR: 4DigitalMedia

How come Ali G Indahouse, a spin-off film also featuring a character from The 11 O'Clock Show, became an indie hit and BFGG only went straight to DVD?

It was not well received by critics, torn apart by some.

...


This review was a bit more merciful, with it also contributing to distribution with its advert to rent/buy.


Steven Berkoff renowned and controversial theatre grandee (ironically one of the practitioners I am studying in Drama at the moment), will be well known to an arthouse audience (ABC1),  but not to average UK citizen. Also, the nature of the film's genre and its distribution will put some fans off as it cannot begin to compare with his work on stage.
