ReelHeART Director – Programmer Comment

This is the “Spinal Tap” of Busking! After a very long season of viewing 100s of films, “Busking Turf Wars” was such a treat. I can’t give the spoiler off the top, but very soon after watching you’ll realize what you’re actually seeing and I hope you’ll love every minute of this film as I did. I just want to put a smiley face emoji here while I write this.

Disheveled and down and out Busker Steven Lockmmore is having a hard time on the mean streets of Leeds, UK, when a fit, better dressed and more musically gifted Busker moves in on Steven’s turf and moves into Steven’s life. The passive aggressive trash talking and postering begins and so does the fun in this sly unexpected coming of age charmer. #MustSee
