Cashback (film)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cashback is the name of two films directed by Sean Ellis: a 2004 short film and a 2006 feature film. Both were produced by Lene Bausager, starring Sean Biggerstaff, Michelle Ryan and Emilia Fox.
The short film received positive critical reviews and it was nominated for the 2006 Academy Award for Live Action Short Film.
Following the success the short film was expanded into a full-length feature of the same name which was released by Gaumont[1] in late 2006. It had its North American premiere on September 10, 2006 at the Toronto International Film Festival and has been screened at a number of other international festivals. The film is yet to secure U.S. and UK distribution.
