Year: 2023
ROCKS screenwriter Theresa Ikoko's exuberant drama series set during the early years of the East London grime scene - It’s 2001 and school’s out for the summer. Energised by the DIY spirit around them, Dane and his friends are eager to form a crew and get their music on pirate station Rinse FM. Ikoko’s fictional drama, loosely inspired by a book by DJ Target, perfectly captures a sense of time and place, and the moment when a local subculture was about to explode.

Life Is 4 ½ Metres
Director: Jeevan Singh
Year: 2026
A coming-of-age drama exploring identity, faith and belonging. What begins as an internal conflict develops into an emotional journey that forces the central character to confront what his faith, family and heritage truly mean to him. Inspired by true events, Life Is 4½ Metres is an intimate and heartfelt story about growing up, the bonds between father and son, and the quiet struggles that can shape a young person’s identity. At its heart, the film explores how the traditions we sometimes question can ultimately become the things that connect us most deeply to who we are.
