James McAvoy has unveiled his directorial debut with the film "California Schemin'," a biopic chronicling the audacious true story of Dundonian rap duo Bilibil N' Brains.

The film, which predominantly used Glasgow as a filming location, stars Samuel Bottomley and Seamus McLean Ross as the aspiring musicians.
