KICKS.

Release date: 04 June 2010

Distribution: New Wave Films

Directed by: Lindy Heymann

Starring: Kerrie Hayes, Nichola Burley, Jamie Doyle

A compelling tale about two teenage girls obsessed by celebrity, fame and fuelled by their fantasy, Kicks is written by Leigh Campbell (Big Stella, Little Stella), directed by Lindy Heymann (Showboy – BIFA Best Newcomer) and produced by Andy Stebbing (Brick Lane). Garnering comparisons with My Summer of Love and Fish Tank for its strong young female focus, Kicks is a markedly assured feature debut from Lindy Heymann. An intelligent and witty comment on modern celebrity culture, the film features outstanding performances from striking, fresh faces in British acting talent; newcomer Kerrie Hayes (EIFF Trailblazer) and Nichola Burley (Donkey Punch) and the Liverpool locations are evocatively shot by Eduard Grau (A Single Man).
