Description

Give a fella a pair of DJ decks, a bunch of drugs, a bunch of women, a fistful of cash and a psychotic best friend – what could possibly go wrong? Told through a series of flashbacks as thirty-two-year-old Gaz is released from prison, Nine Foot Tall is a cautionary tale that’s sometimes harrowing, often hilarious and downright mad. We are catapulted through two very different decades – the simple times of a teenager coming of age during the flamboyant eighties and then, the downward spiral he encounters through the seedy underbelly of the North of England during the drug-fuelled nineties. Just what is it that can turn a seemingly normal, friendly and loving teenager into a man intent on destroying the lives of everyone around him, including his own? “Nine Foot Tall is not for the faint of heart but utterly riotously unputdownable.” – Paul A. Mendelson, BAFTA-nominated screenwriter and author
