Love Me Do premiered at London’s Raindance Film Festival in September 2015. It also played at the 2016 Idyllwild International Film Festival in California, where it was awarded Best Foreign Film.

Raindance Film Festival kicks off next week with a wide array of features and shorts. Among the films in competition for Best UK Feature is the thriller Love/Me/Do, the first fiction feature by Martin Stitt.
