Wade Radford
Oyuncu · d. 1991 · Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England, UK
Wade Radford describes himself as a Folk(ish) poet & guerrilla filmmaker. Mainly known for his contribution to low/no-budget cinema of the 2010's, he is probably best known for his portrayal of Kayden 'Quinn' Daydream in the ferocious 2014 indie film 'TWINK'. Between 2012-2019 Wade put out an incredible amount of independent and controversial films. As a zine-maker he has created nearly 100 independently produced and distributed zines including poetry, polaroid photography, his 'Dear...' series, 'The Busby & Me' and his investigative zine 'The Last Desert Sun', that focuses on the life of Manson Family member Paul Watkins. In 2025 he returned with his new award-winning documentary 'The Busby & Me' about North Yorkshire's haunting of the Busby Stoop Inn. In the background he continues to make avant-garde short films, employing his old Video8, shot on video media format.

Film9.0DramDarrell is a well trained prison bitch looking forward to a night alone in his cell getting jacked on the drugs he's had smuggled in, when a riot erupts on the floors above. To separate the offenders, three of the inmates are placed in Darrell's cell. Always up for a laugh, Darrell teases, flirts and annoys his fellow cellies Seth & Lanks, until a new boy is placed with them and becomes prey to these wild animals. Nothing short of offensive and disgusting, these boys are savage and hell bent on abusing, insulting, and degrading each other throughout the night. 4 Boys, One Room, & Pure Hell in the Cell, this trashy British arthouse, throwback captures the reality of the 80s.
