By our reckoning, Jason Maza must be the hardest working actor in Britain. He’s in just about every small British film being made at the moment, and never seems to stop. He’s also a thoroughly nice chap, so when he contacted us to let us know about his new project, Victim – a film he not only starred in, but also produced – we were instantly interested.
The film played at last year’s Raindance festival to positive reviews, and is being released in June by Kaleidoscope. Here’s the synopsis, as per IMDb
“A young man’s attempt to break out of a cycle of violence. When country-girl Tia comes to stay with her cousin in the city, little does she realise that her naivety will disturb the delicate balance of cousin Davina and her group of friends. Living the good life on a career of crime, Davina’s friend Tyson struggles to be a parent to his teenage sister Nyla. Getting to know Tia allows Tyson to see a way out of his violent life. But Tia’s blossoming romance is a consequence that Davina had not envisaged, and Davina begins to plot a terrible revenge”
The trailer went live last night, and looks rather nice. Check it out below.
