It has been confirmed by Bulldog Film Distribution that Scottish Mussel will be released in the UK on 23rd September.
Scottish Mussel
Scottish Mussel will mark the feature film directorial debut for actress Talulah Riley. As well as being in the director's chair, Riley has also penned the screenplay and will take on the central role of Beth.
It is always exciting to see an actor make the leap into the director's chair for the first time and Scottish Mussel is set to be one of the British indie films that are not to be missed this autumn.
Riley has assembled a great cast list as she stars alongside Martin Compston, Morgan Watkins, Joe Thomas and Paul Brannigan. We are also going to see cameo performances from Harry Enfield, Rufus Hound, and Russell Kane.
Scottish Mussel tells the story of Ritchie (Compston), a Glaswegian chancer with low hopes and no prospects. Disillusioned with city-life, he goes undercover at a Highland conservation centre to make his fortune as an illegal pearl fisher with the help of his two hapless and accident-prone mates, Danny (Thomas) and Fraser (Brannigan).
But his plan goes awry when he meets Beth (Riley), a pretty English conservationist passionate about saving endangered mussels from the clutches of pearl thieves, and falls for her instantly.
The movie received its world premiere at the Edinburgh International Film Festival earlier this summer and is not to be missed if you are an indie film fan.
Scottish Mussel is released 23rd September.
