thanks to everyone who came out on sunday evening to see Strange Powers at the GFT, especially considering we were up against the krankies switching on george square's christmas lights.
I hadn't seen the film before sunday, so I was rather relieved that it turned out to be just as good as was hoped. I haven't yet received a final figure for the number of tickets sold, but i reckon the attendance must have been over two hundred since the lovely big cinema definitely seemed more than half full.
as i said in my wee introduction on the night, the film will be betting a digital release next year from the independent film company, so if you're kicking yourself for missing it, you'll get another opportunity if you're nice and patient. i don't know if anyone else had a similar experience, but i had to concentrate pretty hard to stop myself from applauding at the end of some of the live performances (particularly the lovely rendition of papa was a rodeo), which would have been a tad embarrassing... anyway, judging by the frequent laughter, i'm guessing it went down pretty well: here's the clip that prompted the loudest chuckles.
ah, mr merritt, you lovely grump.
I thought the film was fantastic. Thanks for bringing it to Glasgow.
