Riot on Redchurch Street — The Director’s Cut
A British rock ’n’ roll feature released by Freestyle Digital. Built from music, chaos, and the kind of nights that don’t end clean.
I Predict A Riot
The 12-Year Making of Riot on Redchurch Street
Part tell-all memoir. Part visual archive. Part independent film war story.
A new book from filmmaker Trevor Miller and producer Sean McLusky chronicling the chaotic rise, collapse, disappearance, and eventual rebirth of a film that took more than a decade to survive.
Built around unseen photographs, production material, nightlife ephemera, music culture, and stories connected to the strange orbit that formed around the film — including Siobhan Fahey, Johnny Borrell, Les McKeown, David Dorrell, and even an unexpected late-night visit to set from Johnny Depp.
Described by Dazed Digital as “wildly cinematic — like The Killing of a Chinese Bookie.”
A document of British music culture, outsider filmmaking, damaged glamour, and the long road between making something and finally getting it seen.
Trip City
A cult novel of sex, drugs, music, and acid house.
The city after dark. The chemical heart of youth.
Trevor Miller is a British-born writer and director based in Los Angeles. His work moves between film and fiction, grounded in outsider characters, damaged glamour, survival, and the long hangover after the party.
