Yes after a wee bit of messing about and jumping up and down, Crying with Laughter on to DVD and all the messing was due to one simple quandary 2 – Disc or not 2 Disc – that film fans is the question.

So, having looked at all the Bonus features, weighed up the pros and the cons it became obvious to us all that it had to be 2 Discs. The bonus features break down as follows;

* Feature Commentary by the director, producer and cast
* Making of documentary
* “Becoming Joey Frisk” short documentary
* “The Inspiration behind Crying with Laughter” – round table discussion between the director and cast
* Edinburgh Festival launch party comedy gig with Stephen McCole
* Comedy sets
* Deleted Scenes

Now having listened to it we can whole heartedly recommend getting your ears around the cast and crew commentary, it is one of the most informative but hilarious get togethers you are ever likely to hear! Much praise to Claire, Justin, Malcolm, Stephen and Laura – great job!

‘Crying with Laughter’ has won Best Feature Drama at the 31st Celtic Media Festival! Everyone involved in the film should give themselves a big pat on the back as this is really a major honour!

‘Crying with Laughter’ beat off top notch competition, including the BAFTA winning ‘Hunger’ by Steve McQueen. This win for ‘Crying with Laughter’ builds on the Best Feature Film award at BAFTA Scotland and further underlines its wide appeal.

Claire Mundell of Synchronicity Films, based in Glasgow, and producer of Crying with Laughter said:

“We are absolutely thrilled! To win this award in such a strong field is a real honour and a tribute to the wealth of film-making talent in the Celtic nations.”

While writer/director, Justin Molotnikov said:

“We’re absolutely thrilled with Celtic Festival award as the competition was extremely tough and it couldn’t have come at a better time for us as the film has just been released in the UK.”

‘Crying with Laughter’ was released theatrically on Friday 16th April at selected cinemas in the UK and will continue to be screened throughout April, May and June.

The film is a darkly comedic thriller about a stand up comedian, Joey Frisk, whose life just stops being funny in the most important week of his life. Stephen McCole stars in the central role of Frisk, while Justin Molotnikov writes and directs his debut feature. The film was co-produced by our friends at Wellington Films (‘London to Brighton’).

Crying with Laughter arrived in Cinemas on Friday and to get the word around town Stephen McCole (Joey Frisk) has been popping up on various radio shows. First up Stephen teamed up with CWL co –star Laura Keenan to visit the Radio Scotland Comedy Café following that Stephen McCole had a chat with Dave Aldridge for the BBC Radio 5 live show ‘Up all Night’.

If you fancy a listen you can get the Comedy Café here and Up all Night here – fast forward a bit to 2.49 as it is a long show and Stephen is on a bit later in.

Today is the day Crying with Laughter is in Cinemas, and the team over at Little White Lies seem to like it very much;
