The Summer House @ Cannes Film Fest

One of our fabulous followers e-mailed the writer of Rob's short film "The Summer House" Ian Beck and here is what he sent her back, with information about a DVD/Book Set as well as great news the film will be featured at Cannes Film Festival!

Please see his response below.

The Summer House was printed as a very limited edition, and was written and illustrated by me and in some special numbered cases the illustrations were hand coloured, and these books were very expensive to buy, £128 when first issued. It is quite likely that there are now none left to buy at all, except in the second hand book trade ( see Abebooks etc) however plans are in place to issue the film and hopefully a simpler version of the book together in a DVD package.

This would not be until well after the film has been shown on thefilm festival circuit. It will be shown in Cannes next week, on the 14th May, in the Short Film Corner section I believe. So the DVD package, all being well is likely to be issued some time next year. I will keep you informed if I get a final date. In the meantime my new novel, Pastworld, will be published by Bloomsbury in the states in late October http://www.past-world.com/ which might be worth your while.

All Best Wishes

Ian Beck

Big hugs and thanks to Brittany for e-mailing me Ian's response and info.
