About the Film
I made this film in Birmingham and learnt a great deal about ethics in Filmaking. I wanted to make a sympathetic film about a young offender and the choices they have. It was meant to mirror the experiences that me and many of my friends had growing up in inner city Britain. But this film became about something else. Natty was physically abusive to his girlfriend Sian and I ended up stuck in the middle. I couldn't turn my back on this young woman who was scared and alone. While I felt strange pity for Natty despite the terrible things he did to her.
