HTB tho...UK Talent is where it's at!

Hard Time Bus - the UK indie film continually going from strength to strength!  

Written by Owen Mowatt. Dir by Dean Charles. Prod by Nicola Gregory

The lovely people at the Black British Blacklist hold the best description for HTB (Hard Time Bus); 'a multi-layered relationship drama that centers around carefree and complacent Mark Bishop (Neil Reidman). Challenged by his commitment to long-time girlfriend Denise (Naomi Ryan) he turns to best friend Fitzy (Roger Griffiths) for advice only to be ridiculed for not following the ‘Fitzy Rules’ – “never marry and never settle”.

HTB has a variety of characters that audiences can express empathy for.. Having been voted Best Film at the Hollywood Black Film Festival, it's fair to say the industry are sitting up and taking notice!

I successfully auditioned for the role of Carla, a character I really enjoyed playing! 

One of HTB's many unique attributes is that it's told from the male perspective. The viewer is afforded an insight into how other people's opinions, especially that of a modern-day bromance, can impact and ultimately affect ones long-term relationship.

Since filming, I've been afforded the opportunity to not only discuss the film and its themes on BBC Radio London, I also got to attend the recent screening at London's Regent Street cinema & be included on the Q&A panel.

With Michael,  Neil, Darren and Kojo
