PRESS RELEASE #42 - "gamerZ" GOES GLOBAL AT THE SECC

Glasgow, Sunday 10 July 2005

World Science Fiction Convention to host premiere – 
Film made in Glasgow

PURE MAGIC FILMS is pleased to announce that their new fantasy-themed  
comedy film gamerZ will premiere in Glasgow on the opening night of  
the 63rd World Science Fiction Convention.  Traditionally known as  
Worldcon, this is the most prestigious international cultural  
festival devoted to science fiction and fantasy.  The event, which  
takes place in a different international city each year, attracts  
thousands of science fiction and fantasy fans from all over the world 
and is home to the top prize in literary science fiction, the Hugo Awards.

"It’s a tremendous honour to be part of Worldcon", says writer- 
director Robbie Fraser, "our film is a warm, offbeat romance set in a  
world of strange young fantasy-heads.  It’s definitely a Scottish  
story but we very much hope it will have instant appeal to the global  
science fiction and fantasy community.  I am very excited that gamerZ  
will receive its first outing among friends."

Producer Paul Gavin adds, "We are incredibly excited that the World  
Science Fiction Convention is being held in Scotland this year.  It  
allows us to premiere at a world-class event, in the film’s home town  
of Glasgow to a cross-section of our international audience."

"We are delighted and honoured that Pure Magic Films has chosen  
Worldcon to premiere this film" says Worldcon co-chairman Colin  
Harris.  "It is particularly appropriate given that gamerZ is set in  
Scotland and was filmed in the same year the World Science Fiction  
Convention returns to Glasgow."

gamerZ is co-financed by Scottish Screen and SMG under the New Found  
Films scheme.

                                                                ENDS
