Premo

I should have put this on the internet sooner. If ever you're going to a film premier make absolutely sure that you're going with a guy named Skanker. He'll definitely keep you grounded.

That One Time TV [EPISODE 5] With Jermaine

I went to school with Jermaine. He had a great cameo in 'Top Girl', the Premiere of which I was just at on Wednesday. I say he had a great cameo, it was pretty much just the back of his head. I did not host this episode. I did not host the next episode either. I will not host every episode. I need to practice my hosting game before I step back in. I've seen early edits of Episode 6 and it looks hilarious. I have a pretty special plan for Episode 7 too.

Top Girl Trailer

I mentioned this film last week. I've seen a lot of people talking about AdultHood this week and I'm not sure if Fierce Productions necessarily want that association but I will say this; 'Top Girl' does not star anybody that may or may not have been Dirty Den's American one week Cockney the next week daughters. I'm feeling the trailer a lot.

Premiere's on June 25th check FierceProductions.co.uk for more details or email Rebecca.

Top Girl

I'm going to the premiere of a film called 'Top Girl' on June 25th, my girl Kate is doing some PR work on it at the moment so of course I am showing love on my site [for what it's worth]. This was filmed on the same estate that we shot the 'Back In The Day Remix' video [S.P.E/ home] and is definitely going to be worth checking out. I'll let the experts tell it.

At a time when young black London is hitting the news for crime and violence, TOP GIRLtells the story of girls growing up in a man’s world.

Brixton rude girls Donna and Felicia are inseparable best friends but aspiring MC Donna is unquestionably TOP GIRL. Truthful, tender and punctuated by ill advised sexual encounters, TOP GIRL is a naively comic story of deep and lasting friendship.

TOP GIRL is a film by Fierce Productions, an award-wining not-for-profit company working with young people. 20 plus young people understudied a professional crew in making the film and were also an integral part of developing the script and story. Says Fierce Director Rebecca Johnson ‘TOP GIRL is the second film we’ve shot on Stockwell Park Estate, right in the heart of Brixton. In a way both films are love songs to my local community but the themes they address are universal’. Rebecca’s documentary HOME TURF, also made with and on the Estate, was recently screened to great acclaim at the National Film Theatre. Her drama THAT SINKING FEELING netted international prizes and award nominations and FAST BREAK won the First Light Best Drama award in 2007.

TOP GIRL stars Rumbi Mautsi and Naomi Lewis, two major new talents, alongside established actors Alexis Rodney (Life and Lyrics) and Jay Brown (A Class Apart). It also features a blink-and-you’ll miss it cameo from veteran black British actor Victor Romero Evans (Storm Damage). TOP GIRL’s sound track features ex-Sugababe Mutya Buena and hot South London rapper Skwilla, a fast rising star in the British urban music scene.

TOP GIRL will be submitted to major film festivals internationally including Sundance, Berlin, Venice and the Academy Awards.

I'm hoping to get a trailer soon.
