We're still over a month away from the release of British sci-fi flick Monsters but UK audiences can get an early look at the film courtesy of BAFTA with three regional screenings taking place next week in Bristol (Monday 1st at Watershed Cinema), Newcastle (Tuesday 2nd at Tyneside Cinema) and Glasgow (Wednesday 3rd at Glasgow Film Theatre). Each screening is followed by a Q&A with writer-director Gareth Edwards, who makes his feature debut with Monsters after building a name for himself as a visual effects artist. Meanwhile for those interested in gaining a better insight into the filmmaking process, both the Bristol and Newcastle screenings are preceded by a special free event hosted by Gareth Edwards, "A Master Class in Making Monsters", in which he discusses his experiences of getting his debut feature made and the challenges of creating visually compelling aliens on an incredibly low budget.

"Six years ago NASA discovered the possibility of alien life within our solar system. A probe was launched to collect samples, but crashed upon re-entry over Central America. Soon after, new life forms began to appear there and half of Mexico was quarantined as an INFECTED ZONE. Today, the American and Mexican military still struggle to contain "the creatures". Monsters begins when a US journalist agrees to escort a shaken American tourist through the infected zone in Mexico to the safety of the US border."
Monsters is set for a nationwide release on December 3rd.
