The Tragedy of Macbeth takes Best Film at LA Indie Film Festival

LONDON, September 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --



L.A., 14th September 2012



Little British film wins big in Hollywood



The British team behind low-budget film version of Shakespeare's Macbeth are
celebrating in Hollywood tonight having won three gongs at the LA Indie Film Festival.
Marek Oravec took the award for Best Actor for his brilliant turn as Macbeth, Daniel Coll
was next up to the podium to collect the nod for Best Director and finally producer Mike
Berenger was called to accept the award for Best Narrative Film.

Marek Oravec plays alongside Golden Globe(R) nominee Hannah Taylor Gordon in the film
which also features 70's heart-throb Oliver Tobias as the philandering Porter. The
producers set the bloody play in 11th Century Scotland as Shakespeare intended (the snow
soaked Austrian Alps doubling for the Highlands) but controversially re-imagined Macbeth
and Lady Macbeth as a pair of eager twenty-somethings thirsty for fame and fortune. The
result is hugely captivating and makes for an extremely intense retelling of the infamous
play.



Producer Mike Berenger was delighted with the win; "For the film to do so well on its
first outing in the US is a fantastic. I was over-the-moon for Marek and Danny, but then
to win Best Narrative Film... well, amazing. We know the film has a certain something
about it, but to get this recognition in the Golden State is an awesome prize for everyone
involved with the project."



The Tragedy of Macbeth is out now on DVD and available from Amazon.
