Colour studio enjoys strong presence at renowned festival with Kaleidoscope, Double Date, and The Pugilist making premieres
Three feature films graded by CHEAT’s colourists were selected to premiere at this year’s Edinburgh International Film Festival. 

Graded by CHEAT Co-Founder, Toby Tomkins, Kaleidoscope is a psychological thriller that explores a middle-aged ex-convict played by Toby Jones (Sherlock, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) trying to adjust to life on the outside. Directed by Rupert Jones, the film makes its UK Premiere at the festival and follows the character’s first attempt at dating in 15 years as it’s challenged by his controlling mother.

Comedy-horror, Double Date, makes its world premiere in Edinburgh and follows a 29-year-old on a quest to lose his virginity before he turns 30. Graded by Joseph Bicknell (C-Founder at CHEAT) and directed by Benjamin Barfoot, the protagonist sets his sights on two sisters, unaware that they’re serial killers as he’s wingmanned by his cocky friend played by Michael Socha (This is England, Being Human).

Making its European premiere at the festival is the The Pugilist, which follows an absentee father who enters the murky world of organised crime when his son is murdered in gang violence. Directed by Glen Kirkby and graded by CHEAT’s Jax Harney, the film stars new British talent, Matthew Jure, as a university lecturer who must confront his past as a boxing champion to save his family.

For all three colourists at CHEAT to be represented at such a fantastic festival by way of these features is great news for us. We are very proud of the work we have done and we are excited that the films were given such an audience at the festival."
