REPUTATION (2024)

'Reputation' is an upcoming psychological crime drama set in the fictional Northern town of Dennings, in the beautifully scenic Ribble Valley.

Raw, violent and darkly comic, this is the nano-budget feature film debut of Preston-based writer/director Martin Law. Starring James Nelson-Joyce (A Thousand Blows) & Kyle Rowe (The Devil's Hour), the film is currently in post-production, set for release in 2024.

ABOUT

Reputation. It’s everything. For drug dealer Wes, it’s something which will test him to the limit.With more and more residents in Dennings getting hooked on "Clown" – a new form of ecstasy – it’s 30-year-old Wes who’s cashing in.He’s happy keeping the operation small in The Den; but when partner-in-crime Tommy returns from a short stint in prison, Wes starts to question if this life is for him anymore…

Influences range from Shane Meadows’ Dead Man’s Shoes to Larry Clark’s Bully; from Eran Creevy’s Shifty to Nicolas Winding Refn’s Pusher trilogy. Co-written with Dean Gregson & Jordan Derbyshire, this is a psychological character study; an intimate look at loyalty, greed and power in Broken Britain.
