SYNOPSIS:

Caught Up is a short film that follows Michael, a teenager who has been influenced by his peers; eventually leading him down an inevitable dark path. After an errand for a local gang goes wrong, he has a debt to repay. Trying to get Michael to make better decisions has always been difficult, but his older brother sticks by him and ends up caught up in his troubles. This ultimately leads to tragedy for the two and opens Michael's eyes to the life that now lies ahead of him.

LOCATION: Sheffield

LEAD ROLES:

Michael - Michael is an impressionable 16 year old schoolboy who is led astray from his education by his lifelong friend, Jayden. Michael initially does not seek a similar escape from his surroundings as his older brother does. He steadily involves himself with the gang, and believes taking the opportunities they offer is the only choice he has.

Jacob - Older brother of Michael, a hard working and determined 18 year old currently studying his A-levels in order to secure a place at University. Jacob is not easily susceptible to the criminal environment he lives within and tries his hardest to disassociate himself and his brother from it.

Jayden - Likewise to Michael, 16 year old Jayden is easily influenced by the money orientated, materialistic facade of a comfortable lifestyle portrayed by the older lads on the estate. Jayden, unlike Michael, is evidently more invested in becoming an established member of the gang.

Tyler - Tyler is an established gang member who entices the younger lads on the estate into working for him. With his illusion of a lavish lifestyle, he is responsible for recruiting and exploiting teens, entrapping them into the gang.
