The Slugger of Commerical Road 2026

Mockumentary following a fake martial artist terrorising East London and the filmmaker insane enough to follow him

Directed by Ali Khan

No-one knows his real name. No-one knows where he's from. He's an enigma. He's THE SLUGGER. A deranged, self-proclaimed, martial arts master, terrorising East London gyms. Along comes LE RUNT, an ambitious indie film-maker who would sacrifice a bus full of orphans if it meant he'd win an Oscar. What begins as a ridiculous mockumentary, spirals into a haunting character study about loneliness, masculinity and the masks we all wear to hide who we really are. Think People Just Do Nothing meets Bronson. Raw, absurd and close to home.
