Glasgow Film Festival 2011: Aidan Gillen and Jamie Thraves on Treacle Jr

Actor Aidan Gillen and writer/director Jamie Thraves visited the Glasgow Film Festival to introduce audiences to their latest collaboration, Treacle Jr. The film salutes an unconventional friendship, beginning when depressed, middle-class Tom (Tom Fisher) walks out on his wife and baby and heads to London. He is attacked whilst sleeping rough and regains consciousness in casualty where he is befriended by the affable, irrepressible, endearingly child-like Aidan (Aidan Gillen). Gillen and Thraves talked to Festival vlogger, Jonathan Melville, about their hopes for Treacle Jr and the importance of taking it to film festivals such as Glasgow.
