Documentary on Skepta is currently in the works

BAFTA nominated director Hector Dockhill is working on a documentary about UK rapper Skepta.

The first project from a new creative alliance between Skepta’s production company, 1PLUS1 Production, and the L.A-based company the H.Wood group, the untitled film is said to be a “stirring documentary about the artist focusing on themes of cultural identity and artistry,” according to a press statement.

Set for release in 2025, the documentary will be produced by John Terzian, Brian Toll and Jeremy Allen for H.Wood Media, as well as Dwight Okechukwu for 1PLUS1 Production.

Okechukwu said: “I am thrilled and excited about our new partnership with powerhouse H.wood media, based in Los Angeles. As we embark on this collaborative journey, I am truly excited about the endless possibilities that lie ahead.

"I find Jeremy, John and Brian very inspiring and supportive. It’s a great pleasure to be working with partners that move so efficiently.”

Mercury Prize winner Skepta took his first step into the world of film earlier this year with the release of his short film Tribal Mark, which told the story of a Nigerian immigrant arriving in London, navigating the difficulties in a foreign country, and ultimately getting dragged into the world of crime.
