Pimp

Pimp is a British thriller centred on Woody, a Soho pimp whose week is caught on camera by a documentary crew. As the filming goes on, his situation slides out of his control: rivals move in on his territory, the women working for him stop obeying him, and the people making the documentary are constantly in the way. Woody also has to deal with pressure from a local underworld figure who hands him jobs, while he tries to protect a newcomer from the life around him.

The film was released in 2010 and runs 91 minutes. It was directed by Robert Cavanah, who also wrote the screenplay and plays Woody. The cast includes Danny Dyer as Stanley, Billy Boyd as Chief, Gemma Chan as Bo, Robert Fucilla as Vincent and Barbara Nedeljakova as Petra. Crispin Manson, Royd Tolkien and Matthew Stardling produced, and 58 crew members are credited. It was made in the United Kingdom by Premiere Picture, Coppola Productions, Jubilee Pictures and The Mews Post Production.
