LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, January 3, 2025 /EINPresswire / -- Freestyle Digital Media, the digital film distribution division of Byron Allen's Allen Media Group, has just released the British movie BOLAN'S SHOES, featuring the music of glam-rock singer Marc Bolan and his influential band T. Rex. BOLAN'S SHOES was just nominated as 'Best Feature Film' for the 2024 BAFTA Cymru Awards and recently won 'Best Feature Film 2024' at the British National Film Awards. T. Rex were one of the most influential and popular groups of the 1970s glam rock era, with hits such as 'Get It On', 'Children of the Revolution', and '20th Century Boy'. Bolan's son, Rolan Bolan, has given his permission and support for the film, and serves as an associate producer. BOLAN'S SHOES is now available to rent/own on all North American digital HD internet, cable, and satellite platforms, as well as on DVD, starting on January 3, 2025.
Set in Liverpool, BOLAN'S SHOES draws inspiration from the iconic 1970s glam-rock singer Marc Bolan and his band, T. Rex--specifically their 1976 concert in Manchester. It captures the heady exhilaration of glam rock mania through the experiences of a group of over-excited kids from a local children's home before a devastating road accident changes their lives forever. Years later, and still clinging to the adoration of her childhood idol, survivor Penny takes best friend and fellow Marc Bolan fan to visit Bolan's shrine in London, but a chance encounter there catapults her back to the horror she had tried so hard to forget. BOLAN'S SHOES has been described as a combination of light-hearted comedy and supernatural chills that combine to create an inspirational story that explores the enduring legacy of childhood trauma and the life affirming power of music.
Written and directed by Ian Puleston-Davies, BOLAN'S SHOES was produced by Liverpool-based production company Buffalo Dragon, in association with Munro Film. The cast features Timothy Spall (SECRETS AND LIES, THE KING'S SPEECH, the HARRY POTTER franchise), Leanne Best (THE WOMAN IN BLACK 2: ANGEL OF DEATH, A TOWN CALLED MALICE), Mark Lewis Jones (THE CROWN, GANGS OF LONDON), and Mathew Horne (GAVIN AND STACEY, BAD EDUCATION).
“I was deeply moved by the effects a childhood tragedy had on our two leading characters, the themes of childhood bullying is something I could really relate to,” said Terri Dwyer, producer and co-chief executive officer at Buffalo Dragon.“The narrative of BOLAN'S SHOES has such heart and against the backdrop of a glam rock Liverpool, I knew it could be very cinematic and a joy to watch it unfold.”
Freestyle Digital Media negotiated the deal to acquire BOLAN'S SHOES with Ryan Bury from Motion Picture Exchange (MPX) on behalf of the filmmakers.
