The Beat Beneath My Feet has been nominated for The Raindance Award at the 2014 Moët British Independent Film Awards.

The film, which features a stand-out performance from former Beverly Hills 90210 heartthrob Luke Perry, premiered with two sold out screenings at London’s Raindance Film Festival in September 2014 and opens to sell out audiences on 9^th November at Clapham Picturehouse in London. The movie is also scheduled to screen at the historic David Lean Cinema in Croydon, close to where many of the scenes were filmed. More screenings are being added as demand to see the film rockets.

The Beat Beneath My Feet is a heartfelt comedy drama set in London, directed by John Williams in his first feature and also stars Lisa Dillon and newcomer Nicholas Galitzine.

Since its debut at Raindance the film has received some fine reviews:

“This film is touching, emotional drama at its very best and deserves a huge audience” TheCultDen 10/10

“A toe-tapping indie that is, quite simply, lovely” i-Flicks

“Impresses with its unique voice and endearingly catchy songs”

“The choice of Luke Perry to play an ageing rocker pays off hugely” The Hollywood News 4/5

“A fulfilling emotional journey, great original songs and a heart-warming story. Has a sound of its own that’ll have you tapping your feet.” The Flickering Myth ****

Star Luke Perry commented: “I’m so very happy about this. The little movie that could is well on its way to becoming the little movie that did.”

Producer Fiona Gillies said: “We’re so pleased at Scoop Films to be getting our second BIFA nomination. Everything about The Beat Beneath My Feet turned out just great. We are glad that the general public is getting a chance to see the film at Clapham Picturehouse and the David Lean Cinema and we are excited that this recognition from BIFA will help us to bring The Beat Beneath My Feet to the wider film-going public.”

 Scoop Films are crowd-funding the next stage of the film’s distribution journey by partnering with innovative London startup CrowdShed. New finance will fund a marketing and distribution campaign to take the film to as wide an audience as possible.

Now in its 17th year, the Moët British Independent Film Awards were created by Raindance in 1998 to celebrate merit and achievement in independently funded British filmmaking, to honour new talent, and to promote British films and filmmaking to a wider public.
