Project Detail

Das Wassup

Synopsis

Following the band Yo Majesty through its trials and tribulations as they are making it in the music industry... and not making it.
The band consists of three vocalists from Tampa, Florida, the producer team and record label is from the UK. The three women of the band had difficult upbringings and fought hard to establish themselves as open out lesbians.
Financial success and artistic acceptance is finally within grasp. But soon it becomes clear that things aren't harmonious among the members of the group. With rising fame their increasingly larger than life egos start clashing ever more violently. Solo career aspirations and continuous troubles with the law seriously jeopardise their tantalisingly close breakthrough.
Filmed in seven countries over three years, the film follows Yo Majesty’s turbulent journey through the music business, and closely chronicles their transformation when faced with the achievement of their dreams.

Director: May Abdalla, Barry Gene Murphy

Year: 2026

Hello You is an autopsy of your reflection. This mirror has two sides: one that observes, and another that follows. Exploring stories of altered perception, from phantom limbs to the feeling of being a stranger in your own body, the experience stretches the split-second act of self-recognition into something you can watch unfold. Here you are asked not to look at yourself, but at the lenses through which you look.
