To Be Someone is a British drama film released in 2020 and directed by Ray Burdis. The story revolves around Danny, a successful entrepreneur and British Mod who has everything going for him - a successful business, a beautiful girlfriend, and a comfortable lifestyle. However, his life takes an unexpected turn when he crosses paths with Mad Mike, an unpredictable mobster who wants Danny to help him smuggle drugs.
Danny is initially hesitant to get involved in the drug trade, but he eventually gives in to Mad Mike's pressure and agrees to transport narcotics across the country. As Danny gets deeper into the criminal underworld, he begins to question his decisions and the risks he's taking. He realizes that the consequences of getting caught could have a devastating impact not only on his own life, but also on his loved ones.
Meanwhile, Danny's relationship with his girlfriend becomes strained, and he starts to lose the respect of his Mod pals. As the tension builds, Danny must decide whether to continue down the path of criminality or risk his life to break free from Mad Mike's grasp.
The film stars Sam Gittins as Danny, Leslie Ash as his girlfriend, Perry Benson as Mad Mike, and Toyah Willcox as a Mod leader. To Be Someone captures the British Mod scene and the nostalgia of the 1960s, while also exploring themes of loyalty, friendship, and the consequences of bad decisions.
