Get Duked! is an Amazon Prime film that brings humor and education to another level. This comedy is combined with great music as the four teenagers embark on a mission to complete the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. Although this program is to encourage teamwork, foraging, and orienteering, these kids are eager to get out in the wild to smoke weed.
Among the teen clan is Viraj Juneja (Vera, Doctors). He plays DJ Beatroot, a kid trying to find his identity and present himself as a hip-hop star at the new school. Rian Gordon (Final Score, Outlander) plays Dean. Dean is the kid from a poor background. He looks forward to this final adventure with friends before starting work at a factory. Lewis Gribben (T2 Trainspotting, Limbo) plays the least brightest of the group, Duncan. Samuel Bottomley (Tyrannosaur, Ghost Stories) plays Ian, the complete opposite of this young ensemble. Unlike the others, Ian wants to do everything by the book. He actually wants to complete the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award correctly.

Lewis Gribben attended Glasgow Clyde College and finished his B.A. in acting for stage and screen at Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh. He will appear later this year in the films Our Ladies and Limbo. Limbo is part of the Cannes 2020 Official Selection list. Viraj Juneja attended Identity School of Acting in London. He made his debut in theater and has been in film and various television series. Juneja recently completed the series Vera for ITV and Home Girl, a BFI short film for Film London.
I had a fun Zoom interview with Gribben and Juneja. They discussed eating eating the rabbit droppings for the film, if they would consider it in real life for that satisfying affect and more.
