Top Comedy At Sundance UK

This weekend the inaugural Sundance London Film Festival opens at the O2. Earlier this month, John Cooper, director of  Sundance, explained to The Guardian  “We’re a mission-driven organisation, so we are always looking to extend the audience for American independent films.”

We’re also glad to see some British talent making the shortlist: multi-festival winning short film Tooty’s Wedding, directed by documentary filmmaker Frederic Casella and written by two of the circuit’s finest Laura Solon and Bell Willbond. A feature-length version of this ‘tragi-comedie’ is now in the pipeline, starring the same talented cast of Laura, Ben, Mathew Baynton (Horrible Histories) and Daisy Haggard (Episodes).
