Actor, Writer & Director Aki Omoshaybi has released his debut feature 'Real'.

The story set in inner-city Portsmouth, follows Kyle (Aki Omoshaybi) and Jamie (Pippa Bennett-Warner) who despite, their outward confidence, are both struggling to move on from hardship they’d rather keep hidden as they navigate new love.

Described as an 'authentic and touching love story from a place where second chances are hard to come by' ... we spoke to Aki and Pippa about what it truly means to be 'Real'.

Real is available in selected UK cinemas now and via BFI Player and Sky Store - find out how you can watch and support this brilliant British indie here - vivaverve.com/film/real/
