Interesting facts

Deadmeat is a 2007 British urban crime drama thriller film written, directed, produced by, and starring Q, aka Kwabena Manso. The film is about a man who has just been released from prison and sets out to exact violent revenge against the gang who murdered his brother.

Production

The story is adapted from Q's best-selling novel Deadmeat. Which he originally sold out of the boot of his car and at nightclubs before it was picked up by a major UK publisher. It has sold over 20,000 copies.

The film was shot on 35mm film with anamorphic lenses from Clarkie's perspective and relies on narration in the main. It was shot in 12 days on a low budget with a cast of Black British actors. A "Hollywood" ending to the film was shot, however, it was left out of the film by Q "because, there are always unanswered questions, especially in the area of unsolved crimes."
