PRESSURE

How far would you go when every second counts?

PRESSURE is an award-winning independent thriller written, directed, shot, and edited by Lyrikal TMG and filmed in Waterloo, Iowa.

The story follows Malik Coleman, a man on house arrest whose life changes in an instant when he receives an anonymous phone call giving him just sixty seconds to cut off his ankle monitor or die.

What begins as a single impossible decision quickly becomes a relentless series of dangerous tasks. With law enforcement closing in, the people closest to him becoming caught in the chaos, and an unknown voice controlling his every move, Malik is forced deeper into a game where every decision carries consequences.

But the further he goes, the more one question becomes impossible to ignore:

Why was Malik chosen?

Created independently in Waterloo, PRESSURE represents what can happen when a filmmaker refuses to wait for permission, resources, or the perfect opportunity to tell a story.

From its theatrical premiere in Iowa to its growing film festival journey, PRESSURE has become more than Lyrikal TMG’s first feature film. It is proof that an ambitious vision can begin anywhere.
