U.K. Rapper Stormzy Launches #Merky Films, Unveils Debut Film ‘Big Man’

British rap artist Stormzy has formally debuted his production company, #Merky Films, and revealed their first venture titled “Big Man“.

The British artist known as Michael Omari, also recognized as Stormzy, collaborated with Apple to create a brief film entirely filmed using an iPhone 16 Pro. Titled “Big Man“, this production is helmed by director Aneil Karia and marks Stormzy’s debut in the lead acting position.

The narrative presents a heartfelt, fictitious account of Tenzman, once a successful rap artist, struggling through a turbulent and unpredictable period in his life.

In an otherwise orderly existence, Tenzman’s tranquility is disrupted by the unforeseen arrival of two rowdy youngsters, Klevis and Tyrell. What unfolds is an extraordinary friendship among this improbable trio, igniting Tenzman’s long-dormant love for music, spontaneous delight, and delicate hope. The film cleverly mixes humor, sensitivity, and subtle change to delve into themes of rediscovering one’s youthful spirit and the power of gratitude.

Leveraging the success of his previous endeavors like the Merky Books, Merky Foundation, and Merky Football Club, the entertainer is now stepping into the realm of film and TV production with a new project.

On Thursday, Merky Films announced they are working on a drama series, a groundbreaking biopic, along with various documentaries, an animated project, and a modern twist on the mockumentary format.

Stormzy often expresses that music holds a special place in his heart as his initial love, but film is a close second. For years, he has nurtured a dream about #Merky Films – a platform for compelling British narratives and a creative haven for innovative, unconventional works of art. This venture seems like a natural progression for the entirety of #Merky’s endeavors: amplifying our voices, highlighting significant perspectives, and providing opportunities to those who deserve visibility and a chance to be heard.

He added: “I sincerely hope you enjoy our debut project, ‘Big Man’, as much as we did creating it. To me, it embodies the exhilaration, zest, and courage of youth – that sensation where life seems like a grand adventure and the world is your playground. I wish it stirs within you a desire to dream more, live more vibrantly, and cherish the boldness that comes with being young.
