One of the best movies we caught at this year's SXSW Film Festival was writer/director Gerard Johnson's (Muscle) Odyssey. The film features a knockout lead performance from Polly Maberly as a tough talking, coke-addicted London estate agent who finds herself drawn into the murky world of a pair of gangsters she borrowed money from.
The film also stars Mikael Persbrandt, Guy Burnet, Charley Palmer Rothwell, Purab Kohli, Jasmine Blackborow and Kellie Shirley.
Odyssey has its UK Premiere at Edinburgh International Film Festival on August 15th and its London Premiere at FrightFest on August 25th, with a UK cinema release on November 7th.

The official synopsis reads:
Fiery, sharp-tongued, and ambitious real estate agent Natasha Flynn lives every day on the verge of total success – or ruin. Her luxurious lifestyle is an unaffordable mask for the lonely void she’s tried to fill with the hustle for success. Then, when a shady lender forces her complicity in a criminal scheme to settle a debt, Natasha seeks out a dangerous old friend for help. As pressure from colleagues, collectors and criminals escalates, so begins a wild, neon-soaked ride through London’s dark underbelly.
