RasConrad stars as 'Conrad' in MONUMENT.
The film is what you'd probably call an urban fairytale about one man's solution to the problem of knife crime in his community. Half drama, half dance film they were looking to make something slightly fantastical but with a really strong emotional quality. I play the lead (aptly named) 'Conrad' a dancer now confined to a wheelchair who although blind takes on the the knife thugs beating them at their own game.
The 'Young Conrad' is played by Mbuelo Ndabeni
a beautiful and talented dancer with the Rambert Dance Company here in the UK.
Directed by Robin Schmidt ('El Skid') Writer/Director/Editor its for the 14 Islands Bahamas Film Challenge.
Here's a little about Robin Schmidt aka "El SKID" and the work he has done.
I really pleased to have been chosen for the feature. Not only for the chance to stretch myself as a performer (as well as the WICKED behind the scene photos i'll be getting - WINK -) but also because of the positive message the film will be endearing. Filmed in a day in the middle of Hackney, Robin has gathered a well-rounded and talented team. It promises to be a wicked day once the sun keeps shining. (and/or we don't get arrested for the number of KNIVES being used in the overall film - some 140 I think at last count. But we got a permit and Police Protection all day long)
Look out for MONUMENT.
Want to know and see more. STAY TUNED!! I'll be bringing you, behind the scene photography as well as video
and the movie clip will be on my website when completed.
THANKS FOR THE REFERRAL NUNO. You're the BOMB!!
