THE G WILL CELEBRATE ITS UK PREMIERE AT GLASGOW FILM FESTIVAL
Dark thriller The G has been officially selected for Glasgow Film Festival and will celebrate its UK Premiere on 29 February. Tickets are available now at glasgowfilm.org.
From writer, director Karl R. Hearne and 3Buck Productions, The G takes aim at how in today’s world the elderly can be routinely undervalued or taken advantage of. Dale Dickey (Hell or High Water, Winter’s Bone) takes the lead as the Ann Hunter aka ‘The G’, with a forceful performance and an unforgettable reminder of why you shouldn’t underestimate the elderly.
The G follows Ann and her husband, who retired to an unnamed American suburb 10 years ago to be near his family. But one day out of the blue they are snatched from their home by a corrupt legal guardian who believes they have hidden wealth.
Their home and assets are legally stripped from them and they are put in a prison-like “eldercare facility,” victims of an exploding old age industry. Trapped in a corrupt and terrifying system, The G begins to show her true mettle as she and her loyal granddaughter fight to get them out…and get revenge on the people who did this.
Writer & director Karl R. Hearne said of The G: “This film is a “winter-noir” based on real-world elder scams, and inspired by my own grandmother’s story and character. It’s about a woman who- regardless of her age or situation- refuses to accept that her life is over. In a world where the elderly are frequently marginalised, neglected or abused, I think of this film as a revenge story against old age itself… old age being a condition that my grandmother once said she “would not tolerate.”
The G also stars Romane Denis (True North, Le Monde De Gabrielle Roy), Roc Lafortune (I’m Not There, Immortals), Bruce Ramsay (Alive, The Porter) and Jonathan Koensgen (FUBAR, Reacher).
