What if your entire life philosophy was just... chatting up women? Meet Reggie.
Cherps is a fresh and charming romantic comedy that draws equally on traditions of British story telling and New York independent filmmaking. Reggie is a thirtysomething second-generation black British west London geezer. He likes to live on the fly; ducking and diving, and avoiding work whenever possible. He also likes to cherps women. In black British street slang, 'to cherps' is to chat up or flirt with women. Simple.
Acting
Clint Dyer's Reggie is all swagger, no substance—until it cracks.
Writing
Street slang as poetry; dialogue that actually sounds like people.
Director
Kolton Lee
