Miles E Benedict is the groundbreaking feature film to be directed by Jermaine Cameron Pinnock whose unique vision and creative style is set to produce one of the most exciting and original films to come out of the UK.

The quirky comedy focuses on the mysterious link between the incarcerated schizophrenic Miles E Benedict and the namesake hero of his comic hallucinations. The plot follows a fragmented narrative structure with a script packed full of snappy dialogue and quirky stand out characters. Underlying all of this is the serious issue of the stigma that is attached to people suffering with a mental illness. The project aims to break societal misconceptions of people suffering with a mental illness that has been created by mainstream media.

Lizzie

She has struggled to bring up Stacey (one of the main characters) on a rough council estate. Her problems are solved by cigarettes, alcohol and TV. She does care about Stacey but never in a sober enough state to show it. The pain of a lifetime of abuse threatens to be passed down the generations. Role requires dialogue to be spoken with a cockney accent.

Jordan

Has the ability to drift in and out of groups, his charm is potent, and enables him to get on with just about anybody. However he has used his powers to woo girls which ultimately is his undoing.
