Barcelona Film Premiere Details
Gimp And The Hitman (1hr 28m)
Date: 18 September 2024
Q&A with Writer/Director: Dimitri Raft and Creative Producer/Actor: Jon-Paul Gates
Your Bitcoin Or Your Wife
It all started back in Spring 2022 when the story first took shape.
Dimitri Raft (writer/director) wanted to explore the concept of how domestication in a relationship can lead to a lack of passion between a couple. As he developed the story around the main characters, Penelope and Anthony, he wove in the supporting theme of Bitcoin. Dimitri had become intrigued by the rise of Bitcoin as the new gold standard and a form of alternative currency. He was fascinated by what Bitcoin technology could do - would it revolutionise the world or was it a scam? So Bitcoin, as a store of wealth, became a keystone to the story - essentially the division in Penelope and Anthony's marriage leads her to desperate measures and unwittingly into the arms of two Russian scammers.
It's been a long road to get to this point, but we couldn't be happier that our first feature film will be aired at the L'HIFF in Barcelona. We're counting down the days until Dimitri Raft (in the lead role of Anthony) and Jon-Paul Gates (playing The Cowboy) make an appearance at the festival for the film's premiere and Q&A afterwards. If you can, come along and speak to the creators of this crazy film.
