'GASSED UP' will be hitting UK Cinemas from 7th February 2024, courtesy of Vertigo Releasing.
Directed by George Amponsah, GASSED UP is a gripping drama that delves into the complexities of crime, family, and the decisions that shape our lives. The film stars Stephen Odubola, Taz Skylar, Steve Toussaint, Craige Middleburg, Jelena Gavrilovic, Mohammed Mansaray, and Tobias Jowett.
Outline: Set against the backdrop of a crime-riddled London, GASSED UP centers on Ash (Stephen Odubola), a young man torn between his obligations to his family and the allure of a life of crime. Ash grapples with increasingly risky endeavors—from stealing mobile phones to executing high-stakes jewel heists—all under the guidance of a charismatic Albanian crime lord.
GASSED UP had its World Premiere at the BFI London Film Festival in 2023 and has been met with much critical acclaim. The film presents an unflinching look at the harsh realities facing many young people today, while also offering a glimmer of hope and redemption.
