Skepta on Making His First Foray Into Film With Short ‘Tribal Mark’ and Plans for a Feature-Length Movie: ‘I’m Shouting Out to Denzel’
Skepta discusses how 'Tribal Mark' came to be, working with a cast and crew made up of 90% ethnic minorities and plans for a feature-length film.
The short follows Mark (Jude Carmichael), a teenaged Nigerian immigrant who is adapting to life in London when he is introduced to the world of the undercover Black Secret Service. Skepta co-directed the short with Dwight Okechukwu, his partner in production company 1Plus1, and hopes that it will draw attention to important social issues surrounding non-EU immigrants, including mental health and racial prejudice. Fresh off of his Coachella performances, Skepta talked with Variety about how “Tribal Mark” came to be, working with a cast and crew made up of 90% ethnic minorities and plans for a feature-length film.
