British grime rapper Skepta is set to be the subject of an upcoming documentary produced by H.wood Group, the hospitality company co-founded by John Terzian and Brian Toll. This film marks a significant venture into multimedia production for the company.
The documentary will be co-directed by BAFTA nominee Hector Dockrill and produced by Terzian, Toll, and Jeremy Allen for H.Wood Media, alongside Dwight Okechukwu of 1PLUS1 Production.
Terzian expressed enthusiasm about the project, stating, “H.wood Media is about telling the stories behind the personalities who shape culture, and Skepta is undeniably the perfect subject for us. His story encompasses modern identity, the immigrant experience, mental health, and the journey to find one’s true self. We are honored that he entrusted us to tell his story and collaborate on future projects.”
Okechukwu also shared his excitement about the partnership, saying, “I am thrilled about our collaboration with powerhouse H.wood Media. The endless possibilities ahead are truly inspiring, and it’s a pleasure to work with partners who are so efficient and supportive.”
Earlier this year, Skepta released his first short film, ‘Tribal Mark,’ which he co-directed with Okechukwu, and he plans to expand it into a franchise. Skepta mentioned, “I hope that the next step is a feature film. I want to initiate the project and then step back to allow another Black actor to take the lead. We envision a future installment of ‘Tribal Mark’ featuring Denzel Washington, and I’m calling out to him.”
The documentary promises to provide an in-depth look at Skepta’s impactful journey, resonating with audiences globally.
