About us
Dir. James McAvoy, 2025, UK, 107 mins. Cast. Seamus Mclean Ross, Samuel Bottomley, Lucy Halliday, Rebekah Murrell, James McAvoy.
Based on an outrageous true story, California Schemin' is a wild ride through ambition, identity, and the high-stakes world of musical make-believe.
In the early 2000s, Dundee rappers Gavin Bain and Billy Boyd were talented, hungry, but dismissed for sounding "too Scottish" to make it in hip hop. So they hatched an audacious plan: fake American identities, re-record their tracks with Californian accents, and hustle their way into the heart of the UK music industry as "Silibil N' Brains", childhood friends of D12 and stars-in-the-making. To their shock, the plan works. Record deals, media buzz, and gigs with hip hop legends follow. But as their deception deepens, the pressure mounts and cracks begin to show. How long can you live the dream when it's built on a lie?
With bold humour, raw emotion, and a defiant spirit, California Schemin' is a love letter to outsiders, underdogs, and the pursuit of fame, but asks, at what cost.
