"These are bad people." "I've done bad things myself." A full-length official trailer has been revealed for the indie film titled The G, the second feature film made by filmmaker Karl R. Hearne. It will be premiering in the UK at the Glasgow Film Festival in Scotland kicking off in a few weeks, following its initial premiere at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival last fall. A mysterious older woman seeks revenge on the corrupt legal guardian who destroyed her life, by putting her in a prison-like "eldercare facility" and stealing everything from her. It's described as a "winter-noir" based on real events / inspired by the filmmaker's own family. "A highly atmospheric blend of suspense, dark humour, moving human relationships that confronts age-related issues head on, The G is driven by one astonishing main character, rivetingly portrayed by Dale Dickey." She last starred in indie charmer A Love Song. The G's cast also includes Romane Denis, Roc Lafortune, Bruce Ramsay, & Jonathan Koensgen. If this kind of revenge story sounds like your jam, check it out.

Ann Hunter (aka "The G" – as played by Dale Dickey) and her husband already retired to an unnamed American suburb 10 years ago to be near his family. But one day out of the blue they are snatched from their home by a corrupt legal guardian who believes they have hidden wealth. Their home and assets are legally stripped from them and they are put in a prison-like "eldercare facility," victims of an exploding old age industry. Trapped in a corrupt and terrifying system, The G begins to show her true mettle as she and her loyal granddaughter fight to get them out… and get revenge on the people who did this. The G is both written and directed by the Irish-Canadian writer / filmmaker Karl R. Hearne, director of the film Touched previously, plus a few other short films. It's also produced by Karl R. Hearne. This film initially premiered at the 2023 Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival last year, and it's playing next at the 2024 Glasgow Film Festival in Scotland.
