U.K. independent movie production house Punk Cinema arrived at the American Film Market in Santa Monica armed with an AFI Fest slot for The Gigolos -- the company's first finished feature -- a slate of new projects and no sales agent. The company, headed by brothers Richard and Anthony Bracewell, is very punk in its approach, with the duo producing a movie shot in London with cameos from Anna Massey, Sian Phillips and Susannah York for less than $500,000. Set in the British capital between dusk and dawn, Gigolos revolves around two male escorts who specialize in dating older, rich and influential women. It was made with no tax-break cash, no financial help from any of the U.K. public funding bodies and stars two unknowns, Sacha Tarter and Trevor Sather.
