Principal photography has commenced on Electricity, the powerful and uplifting story of Lily, a brash young woman who leaves her remote seaside town to go in search of her long lost brother. Agyness Deyn (Pusher) is Lily, and Alice Lowe (Sightseers) also star.

Based on the award-winning novel by Ray Robinson, Electricity has been adapted for the screen by BAFTA-winner Joe Fisher (Soundproof) and will be directed by BAFTA-nominee Bryn Higgins (The King of Chaos).

Electricity is the story of Lily O’Connor – brash, sexy, wittily defiant – who lives on the remote Northeast coast cut off from the world and her past. But when Lily’s long-absent mother dies, the past draws her back in. Her old brother Barry, pro poker player ‘Slick’, reveals that her younger brother Mikey ran off to London years ago and got in to trouble. As children, Mikey was the only one who loved and cared for Lily. Now she must find and help him. It’s a search that could kill her. Lily’s epilepsy brings on vivid hallucinations which we experience through her eyes on her extraordinary and deeply moving journey.

Speaking from the set of Electricity, Agyness says on playing the role of Lily: “I love Lily’s journey, she is a survivor. Her strength and her ability to live in the present really drew me to her. She is a delight to discover and she’s teaching me a lot.”
