Worthing Based Filmmaker Heads To Cannes

Worthing based Michael Wearing is heading to Cannes Film Festival expecting to come away with a distribution deal for his debut feature film: Blood Orange Retribution. 

Michael wrote the gangster film and coproduced it with director Can Somer.

The film focuses on a London industrial estate where a cocaine dealer is concerned that the illegal activities of a new nearby neighbour will expose his own activities, but his attempts to disrupt and destroy the neighbour’s business ignites gang warfare that stretches from London to North Cyprus.

Michael said:

“This is the first feature film that I’ve written and been able to take into production.

"It’s been a great experience and I look forward to seeing how audiences react to it.”

Michael is currently appearing in Guy Ritchie’s highly acclaimed documentary Diamond Heist which is currently streaming on Netflix.
