I met Gerard at the Filmhouse Cafe for a chat about his psychological, thriller, horror film, 'Tony', which debuted at this years Eiff. Our table got quite a lot of action as we'd sat next to a shelf of free books, you'll see. Check out Tony as soon as you can, it's a very weird and creepy film. You can read my review, which gave it 8/10, here on quietearth.
Simon: One of the first things I want to ask you is, how you would describe 'Tony' in your own words? It's written in the Eiff catalogue as being a horror comedy, but how'd you describe it?
Gerard Johnson: Yeah, I'd describe it more as a character study, but it's kind of about a lonely lost character. I'd describe it as a social-realist horror comedy, or I should say, a social-realist black horror comedy. It's hard to categorize really, which is a strong point.

Sundance favorite and World Cinema Grand Jury nominee Four Lions will close the 2010 SXSW Film Festival on Saturday, March 20. The UK film was co-written, directed, and stars Chris Morris.
Other “festival favorites” include Waking Sleeping Beauty, a behind-the-scenes documentary about Disney animation from 1984 to 1994 directed by Beauty and the Beast producer Don Hahn, and Tony, a Slamdance selection and psychological thriller about a serial killer.
Skateland, starring Ashley Green, is also getting another look from festival goers, as well as the raved-about short film from Spike Jonze titled I’m Here. Plus a Doors documentary narrated by Johnny Depp. I’ll be reviewing and covering as many of these films as I can.
Below is a full list of the additional titles screening at the film festival, which runs from March 12th through the 20th in Austin, Texas.

Coming right out of left field is Gerard Johnson's Tony, which after playing Slamdance this month, opens in UK cinemas on February 5 before arriving on Us DVD April 10 from Revolver Entertainment. A week in the life of Tony, an alienated psychopath with severe social problems, an obsession for action films and a horrible moustache. Unemployed and unemployable, Tony prowls the streets, his nervous attempts to make human connections invariably rebuffed by laughter or contempt. Occasionally he snaps, and violence is the result. Beyond the break you'll find the first ever batch of hi-res stills. Check out the teaser trailer with the full trailer arriving this week. Peter Ferdinando, Ricky Grover, Frank Boyce, Lorenzo Camporese, Cyrus Desir all star.
