SKINNYMAN
STARS IN AWARD WINNING BRITISH FILM!
If you thought Skinnyman wasn’t blowing up enough this
year, what with the highly anticipated “Council Estate Of Mind” album
release, then check him out in the low budget award winning British film “The
Plague”.
“The Plague” is a story about friendship set amongst a backdrop of estate
blocks, police wagons and spray paint. Skinnyman stars as a pirate radio host,
representing the street with shout outs and freestyles, alongside fellow Mud
Family member and regular Itch FM spinner DJ Flip. As well as a heavy mix
by DJ Flip, the films soundtrack also features the “Council Estate of Mind”
track. Check out the video by the makers of the film! Get requesting!!
What started out as a humble low budget project, in the nature of what we know
as hip-hop, “The Plague” is gaining a strong underground following. The
film will be screened at the 10th Sarajevo film festival, on the 22nd August and
will be awarded the Katrin Cartlidge Foundation prize, presented by British
filmmaker Mike Leigh. www.sff.ba
But check it out at the PORTOBELLO FILM FESTIVAL on the 19th AUGUST
at WESTBOURNE STUDIOS 242 ACKLAM ROAD LONDON W10 9:00PM. This event is
described as “London’s biggest filmic free-for-all”, so all you need is your
tube fare, closest station LADBROKE GROVE (Hammersmith and City line).
