Jules Bishop's feature ♊debut is a rarity: a low-budget Brit𒐪ish indie take on urban youth that’s devoid of cliché or cynicism.

It’s a𒅌 nuanced character study about the unlikely relationshi🔜p between hapless young burglar Kevin (a remarkable Theo Barklem-Biggs) and his eccentric old curmudgeon of a victim, Philip (Phil Davis).

Bishop proves a deft judge of tone, striking a balance of wit and whimsy that only tips slightly into parody with Kevin’s cartoonish tormenter, drug-dealiꦏng Ninja Nigel (Warren Broℱwn).

Still, first time out♌, the writer/d▨irector looks a very exciting prospect.
