The Trapping Movie

 

 

Multiple award-winning and two-times BAFTA and GRAMMY® nominated filmmaker Penny Woolcock, teamed up with production company Fan Studios to create the film ‘Trapping’ – a gut-wrenching portrayal of the distressing reality of county lines in the UK - starring renowned music artist Abra Cadabra.

Fan Studios is the brainchild of British directors, actors and Grime pioneers, Femi Oyeniran (Kidulthood) and Nicky “Slimting” Walker.

‘Trapping’ was filmed between the economically deprived areas of London and Kent and stars upcoming actors Louis Ede (who plays leading character Daz), Aaliyah Gohir (who plays Maryam), C-Biz (who plays Bigger Man), Femi Oyeniran (who plays Wole), Nicky Walker, (who plays Slim Man), and Drill group OFB.

It also sees MOBO award winning British Rapper Abra Cadabra (who plays leading county line gang member, Magic) cast in his first ever acting role. Hailing from the Broadwater Farm estate in Tottenham London, Abra Cadabra weaves his lived personal experience into his debut acting role to deliver a powerful and authentic performance.
