On set filming the court scene for Cardboy the book trailer.
A gripping new novel that explores the underbelly of London through the eyes of a young man drawn into a shadowy world he never imagined. With heart, tension, and an unexpected twist, cardboy is set to captivate readers and spark conversations about the lengths we go to for family and the consequences that follow.
At the heart of Cardboy is Tony, a young man desperate to ease his mother's financial situation. Struggling to hold down a traditional job, Tony stumbles upon an unusual opportunity, distributing cards in telephone boxes advertising the services of London's prostitutes. What starts out as a way to make ends meet soon spirals into a journey through a shadowy, morally ambiguous world. Each pocket full of cash Tony earns pulls him deeper into a universe he never expected, leading to a fate even he could not foresee.
