The fresh new Scottish rom-com Premature will have its Gala Premiere at Grosvenor Picture Theatre Glasgow on Thursday 10th September, ahead of its UK cinema release from Friday 18th September. The premiere represents a homecoming for the independent film, which was shot at locations across the city - from Kelvingrove Park to Glasgow School of Art to the Griffin pub- over 23 days in the summer of 2025. The premiere will be attended by its two stars, James Rottger (Our Ladies; Gary: Tank Commander) and Elle Watson (making her screen debut following appearing in The Tempest at the Tron Theatre), alongside debut writer-director Kevin Walls (BAFTA Scotland New Talent Winner) and co-stars Gail Watson, Andrew Rodger, Terry Nelson and Zoë Lerman.

When meticulous, career-obsessed Cameron (James Rottger) discovers his struggling artist flatmate Eilidh (Elle Watson) is pregnant after their drunken one-night stand, both assume there is an obvious way out. But when Eilidh finds she cannot go through with the termination, the pair are forced into an awkward, absurd and increasingly intimate attempt at preparing for parenthood. As they stumble into something that looks suspiciously like a relationship, they begin to question the lives they thought they wanted and what they really mean to each other.
