We’re excited to share the first look at our upcoming BFI NETWORK–funded short film Chokehold, produced by camakel productions in association with YSP Media and supported by Film Hub Midlands.

The new trailer introduces Lucas, a young teenage boy on the run and in search of his father, a professional wrestler going by the name of Cash Flynn. Written and directed by Christopher Bevan and produced by Catriona Kelly, Chokehold stars Eddie Coates, Philip Bedwell, Lis Hipkiss, Mike ‘Wild Boar’ Hitchman, Ross Marshall, Jo Barker and Carl Bryan.

Catriona and Chris are incredibly grateful to the entire Chokehold team for their hard work and dedication, and to BFI Network and the team at Film Hub Midlands for their support throughout development and production. Now that the film is completed, we’re now looking ahead to the next stage as we prepare for upcoming screenings and festival announcements.

If you’d like to follow along with the journey, we’ll be sharing more behind-the-scenes content, updates, and insights into the making of the film on Instagram at chokehold_shortfilm. We’d love for you to join us there as we continue sharing more of how the film came together and where it’s heading next.
