Six Bend Trap

Six Bend Trap is a 2006 independent comedy crime film written and directed by Mike McCarthy in his directorial debut. The story centres on the world of greyhound racing, where three friends become embroiled in a feud between a powerful businessman and an ex-greyhound trainer.
The film was the first independent high definition film made in the United Kingdom, funded completely by the Middlesbrough-based Ironopolis Film Company. Director McCarthy and producer Stalker conceived the idea for a film set in Middlesbrough after a chance meeting in an Arizona restaurant, aiming to "give people a better impression of Teesside".
The film was shot in six weeks on location in Middlesbrough and Saltburn-by-the-Sea, with a budget of £4.5 million. An additional scene was filmed at Peterborough [Greyhound Stadium].
The film was shown at the 2006 Marché du Film.
