Animol | Ashley Walters’ feature directorial debut goes into production
Actor and rapper Ashley Walters of Top Boy fame is making his feature directorial debut with Animol which has just gone into production. More on that below.
If you’ve watched Top Boy, Channel 4 and later Netflix’s hit London-set drama, you know Ashley Walters is the real deal. Walters’ raw performance as the series’ main character Dushane is a memorable one, but the actor and rapper is now looking to shift his focus elsewhere, specifically behind the camera.
Word has reached the Film Stories news desk that Walters’ feature directorial debut Animol has just gone into production. Written by Nick Love and drawing from Walters’ own experiences, Animol takes us inside the harsh conditions of a Young Offenders’ Institution. Tut Nyuot and Vladyslav Baliuk will play two teenagers at the heart of the story with Stephen Graham and Sharon Duncan-Brewster joining them in supporting roles.
This isn’t Walters’ first time directing.
