Introduction
Gypo is shot in a pseudo-documentary style, and is the first UK feature film to be certified as an official Dogme95 film. Gypo has been a success story from the outset, securing a sales agent at its first screening, and being the only privately financed UK feature film to secure a US distribution deal at Cannes just two weeks later. Having sold worldwide, most notably to UK distributor Redbus (Bend it Like Beckham, The Gift) Gypo has been selected in competition by numerous international film festivals, including the prestigious Edinburgh International Film Festival, where it was shortlisted for the Michael Powell 'Best British Film' award, and receiving a five star review in Scotland's Sunday Herald and four-star review in the Scotsman. The film has won Outstanding Achievement in Production award at the 2005 British Independent Film Awards, and Best First Feature Award at the San Francisco Frameline Film Festival. It is set to be theatrically released in the UK this summer
