Martin Law is making his feature directorial debut with Reputation, a gritty crime drama set in the fictional town of Dennings.

Take a look at the trailer below. 

Reputation stars James Nelson-Joyce as a drug dealer who begins to have doubts about his lifestyle when Tommy (Kyle Rowe) returns from prison. The film’s website describes the film as “a psychological character study; an intimate look at loyalty, greed and power in Broken Britain.”

Olivia Frances Brown, Kru Lundy, Ross Thompson, Robyn Sass and Andrew Purcell round out the cast for Reputation. Jake Bradford-Sharp acts as the film’s composer while Daniel Llobera is behind the camera. Law wrote the film with Dean Gregson & Jordan Derbyshire.

Reputation is a completely independently produced film via Law’s production company Factory Noir and has been made with a modest budget. The film has been in the works for the better part of 10 years and is due to make its debut at the Spirit of Independence Film Festival in Sheffield this September. You can find more information and the festival’s schedule here. 

We’ll leave you with the film’s official synopsis: 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…
