Earlier this year, Glasgow Film Theatre,\u00a0Starcatchers<\/a>,\u00a0Platform<\/a> and\u00a0Toad’s Caravan<\/a> joined forces to produceThis Sucks: The Movie<\/a><\/em><\/strong>,<\/em> starring a talented cast of hundreds of\u00a0children from nurseries around the East-End of Glasgow.<\/p>\n

Over two weeks during February, hundreds of children from Glasgow nurseries participated in making the film with directors Matt Addicott and Katy Wilson from Starcatchers and the support of Toad’s Caravan.\u00a0The film tells the story of Hetty the Hoover and the love of her life — Mike Dust.\u00a0The concept grew from a previous, highly successful Starcatchers project,\u00a0This Workshop Sucks<\/em>, which premiered at the Glasgow Youth Film Festival 2011.<\/p>\n

Nursery pupils from\u00a0Barlanark Family Learning Centre,\u00a0Helenslea Nursery School,\u00a0Hullabaloo Children Centre,\u00a0Sandaig Nursery School and\u00a0Westercraigs Nursery all took part in the filming. They joined us last week for the world premiere last week at a special ceremony at GFT.\u00a0Click here to see photos of our red carpet premiere!<\/a><\/p>\n

The funding for\u00a0This Sucks: The Movie <\/em>was made possible by Glasgow City Council’s Area Committee Grants.<\/p>\n

You can watch the completed film online now on YouTube:\u00a0This Sucks: The Movie<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u200bPaul Macgregor, Learning Projects Coordinator at GFT remarked:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s been exciting to see everyone’s hard work rewarded with such a charming and inspiring film, made by and for young children. Glasgow Film is dedicated to engaging young audiences with moving image technology and\u00a0This Sucks: The Movie<\/em> is perfect example of the creative projects that take place at GFT all year round. We’ve loved working with Starcatchers, Platform, Toad’s Caravan and we are extremely proud of all the wonderful children who took part.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matt Addicott, co-creator of\u00a0This Sucks, <\/em>also made a wonderful behind the scenes short about the making of the film:\u00a0The Making of This Sucks: The Movie<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
