Production
Prior to writing the script for Ill Manors, when Plan B was 21 years old, he had originally tried to begin production on another script he had written called Trigger, which was based on an incident where his home was raided by armed police.[4] However, he was refused funding as he was an inexperienced director.[5] To gain the necessary experience, Plan B wrote and directed his own short film Michelle in 2008 which was financed by himself with £4000[4] from the remaining recording advance from his record label and an inheritance from his grandfather.
