"I had returned to London, from Los Angeles, after 17 yearsand wanted
to make a film that would translate to both UK and US audiences. The vibrancy
and danger of the East
London music scene seemed the perfect subject matter -
being both singularly British, yet uniquely exportable. I had been reading
Christopher Isherwood's "Goodbye
To Berlin"and found striking parallels between my
own experience and the bohemian subculture in which I became immersed.
When I witnessed a large street-fight outside the Redchurch Street mosque
I realized that this was a story needing to be told. A story about
powerful emotion, moral ambiguity - but ultimately hope."
WHERE
YOU SEE WORDS IN BOLD
- THEY ARE LINKS
A
love triangle that takes place between an East London rock-roll manager
and two of his clients – a
girl singer on the verge mainstream success and the young,
front-man from a local punk-band who’s starting to crash and burn.
As the star-crossed lovers tear each other apart, a
showcase gig in Shoreditch turns bad, igniting anglo-muslim
racial tension – now there’s a riot
on Redchurch Street that can only end in blood-fire and redemption.
