James McAvoy Discusses His Directorial Debut 'California Schemin' 🎬

James McAvoy's directorial debut CALIFORNIA SCHEMIN' was the closing film of #ZFF2025. We talked to him on the Green Carpet.

At the end of the 1990s, Gavin and Billy were being ridiculed in Scotland for their rap music – their accents and backgrounds were considered career killers. So, they reinvented themselves as a Californian rap duo called Silibil N' Brains. Armed with fake biographies, American accents, and boundless self-confidence, they swindled their way into a record deal in London and a tour with Eminem. But the high didn't last long. In his brilliant directorial debut, actor James McAvoy, who also plays a role in the film, brings to the screen the true story of an artistic duo who dreamt of being noticed.
