REPUTATION
(2024)

Reputation is a psychological crime drama set in the fictional Northern town of Dennings, in the beautifully scenic Ribble Valley.Raw, violent and darkly comic, this is the nano-budget feature film debut of Preston-based writer/director Martin Law. Starring James Nelson-Joyce (This City Is Ours) & Kyle Rowe (The Devil’s Hour), the film was released in the UK & US in 2025, with international sales being handled by Trinity Content Partners.“First-time director Martin Law shoots in a style that wavers between the gritty realism of Nicolas Winding Refn's Pusher films and the darker end of the British TV crime show spectrum.”
