Lip Service

Lip Service is a film about twenty-year-old lesbians, and was entirely filmed in Glasgow in 2009. It has 6 episodes and started on BBC3 in October 2010.
Lip Service is directed by John McKay and Harry Bradbeer.
Each episode has around 600 000 viewers.


The movie starring 

Laura Fraser as Cat MacKenzie 

Ruta Gedmintas as Frankie Alan 

Fiona Button as Tess Roberts 

Emun Elliot as Jay Bryan Adams 

Roxanne McKee as Lou Foster 

Heather Peace as Sam Murray 

Natasha O'Keeffe as Sadie Anderson 

I didn't see this film however in my opinion it is a good production which pushes the boundaries  and shows the world full of secrets, acceptance, humor and love.

Moreover they have special “Made in Glasgow” section. Thanks it people can get know more about recent productions made in Glasgow and films which GFO helped to put on screen.

Filming in Glasgow

Few days ago I have read an article written by Bryan Pendreigh in 2003, entitled "Glasgow's 'vibrant' film scene attracts stars and directors City rivals Hollywood with five movies on to go". 

He writes "STARS and directors are turning their backs on established film-making centers like Los Angeles, London, and Paris and coming to Glasgow instead, creating an unprecedented film boom in the city."

I think that it is great information! In my opinion Glasgow is very interesting city. It has marvulous architecture and has really big potential.

Films made in Glasgow can be really good.

I add a link to the URL with Bryan's article, published on The Herald page.
