FEATURE films highlighting problems among British Pakistani families in the UK have been around for some time. Think of My Beautiful Launderette, East is East, My Son the Fanatic and Four Lions.

Add to that list Catch Me Daddy, a 111-minute thriller and love story partly set on the Yorkshire moors.It follows a British Pakistani girl with bubblegum pink hair and her white boyfriend as they try to scratch a life together in a tatty caravan on the moors.

Their dream of a fairy-tale life comes to a brutal end when a gang of Asian and white bounty hunters track the couple down on the orders of the girl's father.

Catch Me Daddy, which is being screened at the National Media Museum in February is the first feature film by Daniel Wolfe and his brother Matthew. It's described as a modern-day Western with bleak social realism and violence

Filmed on location in and around Baildon, Halifax, Mixenden, Todmorden, Wainstall, Rishworth Moor and the Last of the Summer Wine village of Holmfirth, the film was supported by investment from Screen Yorkshire's Content Fund.

One member of the cast is Barry Nunney, who was discovered working in a Bradford scrap metal yard and appeared in Clio Barnard's film The Selfish Giant.

The main character Laila, played by Sameena Jabeen Ahmed, in real life an instructor at a Manchester outdoor activity centre, runs away from her British Pakistani family with her white boyfriend Aaron, played by Scottish actor Conor McCarron, to live in a caravan on the Yorkshire Moors.

Her family then hire the bounty hunters to find them and bring her back. As the film progresses, it becomes clear that Aaron is becoming just as controlling as the males in her family that she is hiding from.

Matthew Wolfe said: "We wanted to tell a story about a group of people all trapped within destructive cycles, where occasionally a moment of humanity breaks through and they wake up. It's a story that explores attachment, addiction and freedom."

The film, which debuted at the CannesFilm Festival last year, was also seen at the London Film Festival where Sameena won the Best British Newcomer award. She also won the Most promising Newcomer award at the British Independent Film Awards.

Catch Me Daddy, also the title of a Janis Joplin song, will be screened by Picturehouse at the NMM from February 27.
