Candlestick is a 2014 British film starring Andrew Fitch, Isla Ure, Nigel Thomas and Tom Knight. It was directed by Christopher Presswell and was released in the United States on 11 April 2015.[1]
The film was shot in London during November 2012. Presswell has cited the work of Alfred Hitchcock, particularly Rope and Dial M for Murder, as an influence on the film.[3][4]
In January 2015 the company announced that the film would open in the United States on 11 April of that year, and be released on VOD, DVD and Blu-ray.[1]
Reception
Following the film's Irish première, NextProjection called the film a "juicy jaunt of a tale," and said that "like a Raymond Chandler 'cannibalisation', Candlestick may feed off the familiar, but it's the sport with which it spits it back out that makes it feel so fresh".[10]
The film won three awards at the 30 Dies Fantastic Film Festival, Andorra: best screenplay (Forgács W. András and Christopher Presswell); best original score (Jonathan Armandary); and best actor, shared by Andrew Fitch, Isla Ure, Nigel Thomas and Tom Knight.[11]
On 19 November 2015 a post on titled "This is how movies are delivered to your local theater"[13] containing pictures of the film's DCP hard drive went viral, reaching the #1 spot on Reddit, and gathering widespread social media attention.[14]
