Paddy Considine and Shane Meadows join forces again for a hilarious improvised faux-rockumentary.

Rock roadie Le Donk (Considine) has lived, loved and learned. Along the way, he’s lost a classy girlfriend (Olivia Colman), but gained a sidekick in up-and-coming Nottingham rap prodigy Scor-zay-zee (playing himself). With Meadows’ fly-on-the-wall crew in tow, Donk sets out to make Scor-zay-zee a star… with a little help from the Arctic Monkeys... An unpredictable, irrepressible paean to spontaneous filmmaking – and to a burgeoning UK rap talent. Followed by an extended Q&A with Shane Meadows.

Meadows will also be present at the Five Day Features event: click here for more information.

    It was hilarious. Pretty much the whole cast were there at the showing too. The funniest after viewing Q&As in a long time. See it, if you haven't already.
