Hove-based Ross Boyask, 33, has returned a happy man from the Cannes Film Festival where his gangster film Ten Dead Men was screened. “It’s been tremendous,” he enthused. “We’ve received great reviews and interest from American, UK, French and Japanese distributors.” Among the stars of the 90-minute film are Lee Littleford Evans, formerly of the singing group Steps, Silvio Simac, a martial-arts expert, and actor Doug Bradley.
