Overview
Boy Called Bremner is a comedy drama set on a notorious Leeds Estate. Home to a dodgy boxing coach, a fake vicar, an Elvis impersonator and a drunken football worshipping father. Bremner and his boxing mates are determined to have fun, cause mischief, make money and resurrect their faltering amateur boxing careers. Desperate to make a better life for his baby daughter, Bremner seeks the approval of others. Unemployment, family problems, drug dealers depression, crime and suicidal urges prove to be bigger opponents than anything faced in a boxing ring. On the edge between life and death Bremner's larger than life character masks these hidden demons. The only antidotes are focus drive dreams and the antics of the crazy residents and friends of his local boxing club. Boy Called Bremner is a gripping story about loyalty, passion, tragedy and comedy all the factors of a down to earth realistic film from the heart of Yorkshire's largest City.
