Chicklit + Q&A (tbc)

ChickLit (2016; UK) is a comedy drama about four guys trying to save their local pub from closing down. To raise funds they group write a chick lit novel in the style of ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ and it gets snapped up. The only snag is that the publisher insists that the young woman ‘author’ does press and publicity. The guys have to keep their involvement a secret and so engage an out of work actress to ‘role play’ the part of the author. Boasting a star-studded cast including Christian McKay and Dakota Blue Richards, ChickLit is a hilarious observation on the ‘mummy porn’ phenomenon hitting bookshops today.

Plus Q&A with director Tony Britten (TBC)
