Exclusive: UK independent film Tramp has secured a theatrical distribution deal with China Film Group.
The film is set for theatrical release in China towards the end of this year or early-2026, with production company Emc Productions adding that they are also exploring opportunities for the film to be available on Chinese streaming platforms.
Tramp is a sports drama that explores the worlds of mixed marital arts (Mma) and motherhood. Loosely inspired by real athletes, the film follows a British-Polish fighter whose meteoric rise is derailed by an unexpected pregnancy.
Produced by London-based Emc Productions, the film stars Izabella Malewska (Cold Feet, Holby City) and Alessandro Babalola (Top Boy, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare), and is shot by Tristan Chenais (Rogue Agent, Dust to Dreams).
Tramp is the debut feature from Philip James McGoldrick.

Unfortunately, the most notable thing about new sorta-cyber thriller Black Mail is that this weekend it is receiving the widest release ever — 100 screens — in the UK for an independent Black British film. That’s a nice barrier to break, and I wish I could recommend the film.
Does anyone actually fall for those sextortion emails in which scammers inform you — invariably in broken English and with no proof whatsoever — that they’ve installed spyware on your computer and have recorded video of you “having fun” at a p0rn website, and threaten to send it to all your contacts unless you placate them with some Bitcoin? Well, Ray Chinda falls for it… and reacts in a ridiculously stupid way that confirms him as an easy mark. Even more unlikely than that, Chinda is meant to be “a world-famous action star at the top of his career” (according to the film...

A film star faces financial and family ruin as sleazy Russian mobsters blackmail him after malware films him watching porn
Nigerian film-maker Obi Emelonye has written, produced and directed more than a dozen films, but his work is barely known beyond the Nollywood distribution circuit that serves viewers in west Africa and immigrant communities elsewhere. However, Black Mail, his London-set latest, is getting a reasonably wide release in the UK at least. The lowish-budget production values, gestural performances and blunt moralism of the scriptwriting puts this very much in the heightened dramatic tradition of mainstream Nigerian cinema, but Emelonye has an accessible style and has picked the topical subject of cybercrime, an approach which might broaden the film’s appeal.
The plot weaves together the story of hapless London-based film actor Ray Chinda (Oc Ukeje) and the Russian mobsters who are blackmailing him. Married with children to solicitor Nikki (Julia Holden...
