“The first project from Mo Ali’s new production company is an interconnected film called ‘Breathe‘. The film is told in four parts, written by four Black British writers; Sheila Nortley, Robert Bertrand, D’Marie Dowe, and Miles Mitchell, whilst featuring the best in Black British acting talent. Directed and produced by Mo and co-produced with actress and filmmaker, Kyla Frye, the pair aim to shed light on the parts of Black British lives that are rarely seen on screen. Filming commences in September with final casting taking place at the end of August.
Breathe gives audiences insight into the healing, grieving, love, and mental health of black people during COVID in the UK. Told through the eyes of eight Black British people at one moment in time this interconnected film of four stories gives us an intimate look into the lives and relationships of those emerging from lockdown, as they prepare to get back to a new kind of normal.”
Stay tuned for production announcements!
