It also won the Best Film category at the 2006 British Independent Film Awards, with Thomas Turgoose, the lead role, winning the Most Promising Newcomer award. The film was distributed in different ways. The film was not exhibited in mainstream cinemas such as The Odeon, Vue or UCI, but in small independent cinemas such as ‘Cinema City’ in Norwich. I believe this gained the film more respect than if it was shown internationally and perhaps gave the film an air of mystery around such a talked about film. Recently the film has been distributed on Channel 4’s Film Four, allowing it to be available to a wider audience.
