I had a great time hosting and helping organise the UK Premiere for Jesse V. Johnson’s latest film, Avengement, starring Scott Adkins. The packed event was held at Stratford East Picturehouse in East London and hosted by Dazzler Media, Fighting Spirit Film Festival and film sponsor, Rooster Rojo. Following the film, I hosted a Q&A which was a lot of fun.

The critically-acclaimed film sees a lowly criminal (Adkins) who evades his guards and returns to his old haunts to take revenge on the people that made him a cold-hearted killer.

Red carpet guests included actors Adkins, Nick Moran, Thomas Turgoose, Kierston Wareing, Beau Fowler, Mark Strange, Lee Charles, writer Stu Small, producer Joe Karimi-Nik, stunt coordinator Dan Styles and many of the wider crew. I was also a stunt player and had the opportunity to work with a very action talented team.

The film is out now on digital platforms in the UK and released on Blu-ray and DVD from 1st July. It’s also out now in the US.
