Our aim is to shed light on the impact of gang culture of youths in London. In memory of Ažuolas Zygelis who passed away in 2021

by Zeeshaan rahman in London, Greater London, United Kingdom

Logline: When Daniel's choices entangle him with a violent gang, his best friend Jude disappears - forcing him to confront his guilt.

Synopsis: Jude and Daniel grew up as inseparable friends, both with grand aspirations and dreams. However,  as they enter adolescence, their lives differ—Jude is on the straight and narrow path whilst Daniel gets involved with a gang. Despite being welcomed into Jude’s loving family dynamic, Daniel’s past decisions catch up to him. When a deal goes wrong, Daniel finds himself in great danger, coming at the expense of his closest friend.

Inspired by a true event & with underlying themes of biblical stories our film has a personal connection and I'll let our director tell you how. "Hi, I’m Ben, the director for I for an Eye. I’m currently in the final year of Metfilm with the dream of directing other projects in the future. This story that we’re in the process of crafting is inspired by a true event that personally affected me. My childhood friend, Ažuolas Zygelis aged 15 was murdered in Barking in 2021. Unfortunately no answers were given into how, who or why this occurred but it left a stain on an already broken community. The grief that followed from the unanswered questions has lead me wanting to create a film in his memory to honour him, his family and countless victims like him. We hope your contributions can spread awareness and push the fight to end violence on the streets of London."
