I was recently on set with Adam Deacon, known best for his roles in Kidulthood and Adulthood, for his directorial debut, Anuvahood! It’s the UK’s first urban comedy about ‘wasteman’, Kay (played by Deacon) who begins to realise he’s just another wannabe bad boy… even less than a loser in fact. After quitting his job at Laimsbury’s (!), Kay vows to become a respected gangster… or cry trying.
Anuvahood is a pulls-no-punches, coming-of-age story, centering on one directionless hopeless “shotter”, who finds his true worth in the face of urban adversity. What’s more, it was all filmed in our very own Grove, West London.
Adam Deacon has done a great job in capturing the conventional cliché of ‘urbanised youth’ films like Kidulthood, Adulthood and Shank in both his directing and acting. It’s a hilarious take on the genre and therefore incredibly refreshing.
Starring the likes of Jaime Winstone (Made In Dagenham, Dead Set), Richard Blackwood, comedian, Miss Jocelyn, Ollie Barbieri (Skins), Linda Robson (Birds Of A Feather) and many more, make sure you watch out for this one releasing in spring next year!
Have a sneaky peak with Radio 1 Newsbeat who went on the Anuvahood set…blad.
