When tattoo artist Tales gets a call in the middle of the night from a man representing very famous pop star who is “in need of an immediate tattoo,” all sorts of possibilities suggest themselves. Tales rushes to open his shop within the requested 20 minutes. It’s very dark outside, the streets are quiet, and the celebrity is accompanied by a capable-looking bodyguard. This opening is a problem. It means that what follows is unlikely to live up to the film you’re already constructing in your head.
The Glasgow Film Festival, like many others around the world, always endeavours to make room for home-grown talent. The first feature by director Ciaran Lyons, obviously made with a small budget, Tummy Monster is a commendable effort and has a solid idea at its core. It pleased the local crowd at its festival screening, but may not travel so well. Though effective in.

You can be forgiven to think Tummy Monster is some sort of loveable character from a kids show.
But this is certainly not the case.
Instead it is a tense psychological thriller from Scottish director-writer Ciaran Lyons in what is his feature debut with rising star Lorn Macdonald. It is one of many eagerly anticipated films showing and it shows with its first screening sold out and additional screenings added.
With its world premiere at the Glasgow Film Festival we chat with Lorn and Ciaran to talk filming in one-confined space, an intense shoot and more!
