"tells the story of an Africa immigrant surviving on the fringes of New York City where music is his passion, life is a hustle, and falling in love is his greatest risk."
Directed by Andrew Dosunmu
Starring Sy Alassane as Djbiri who is the main character
&&
Nicole 'Sky' Grey as Trini.
Nicole is.. Jamaican =) and this is her second film. The first was "Better Mus Come" which I've been hearing is a good film. Another one on my must see list.
Costume Designer for the movie is Mobolaji Dawodu.
I adore his work.
Check out stills from the film.
**note- I have those headphones in pink. You know who was excited about that.... :)
I certainly want to check this out for so many reasons. The cinematography looks amazing. I'm a native of NYC and first generation...thanks for posting this I will certainly be on the look out for screenings of this film. The stills are beautiful.
