Winner of Audience Awards at both SXSW and Outfest 2011, and the opening night selection of Brooklyn’s acclaimed BAMcinemafest, Weekend is a startlingly authentic love story, featuring the talents of two incredible actors and the unique work of filmmaker Andrew Haigh (All of Us Strangers).
After meeting one lonely Friday night at a bar, Russell (Tom Cullen) and Glen (Chris New) find themselves caught up in a lost weekend full of sex, drugs, and intimate conversation. Although they have conflicting ideas of what they want from life—and, certainly, how to get it—they form a startling emotional connection that will resonate throughout their lives.
