Just saw this film at the Schlingel International Film Festival. It is well worth checking out! Great performances and the directing/storytelling is captivating! Refreshing to see a story about Brixton, acted by some of the residents of Brixton. Fully authentic!

Plot summary
Benji is a nerdy boy from the Somerleyton Estate in Brixton. He spends his days keeping his stoner best friend Arch out of trouble. Leah is a wealthy young YouTuber, obsessed with street culture. They fall in love, but when they tempt each other into increasingly reckless behaviour for the sake of their documentary, they blur the lines between image and reality, between collaboration and exploitation, and their lives spiral out of control.

Compelling, artistic, and authentic. Well worth watching!
Confused
What I saw was a white girl objectifying a young black man and in her final edit, portrayed him with all the usual racial stereotypes when in fact he had presented himself in quite the opposite way from the beginning of their relationship. Couldn't finish it so there may have been some redeeming ending to the film but after an hour of fairly flat narrative with virtually no dialogue, it was difficult to stay interested.
Cringe cringe cringe
Total and utter trash.
Camera work was hilarious, I'm not sure if there was a scriptwriter, acting was not acting.
Best way to have fun watching this is by playing idiot bingo, write down 40 words - phrases or slang terms that you've heard from the great uneducated, and Mark them off during this dross film. I won after 5 minutes with "bruv fam yegetme innit blud brapbrap yafeelme Mandem feds trippin pussyole feel-ya"
Seriously do not bother.
