Get ready to mark your calendars, Skepta fans. His directorial debut, “Tribal Mark,” is gearing up for its official release on January 26, 2024, in London, England. The film will light up the screens of Everyman Cinema, offering audiences a chance to witness Skepta’s vision come to life on the big screen.
Produced under his own company, 1PLUS1, and alongside his longtime collaborator, Dwight Okechukwu, “Tribal Mark” promises to be a cinematic journey steeped in both creative flair and personal connection. Excitement for the film is already brewing, fueled in part by Skepta’s own Instagram post celebrating the success of the film’s premiere, held on December 18, 2023.
He expressed,
“Biggest thank you to @1plus1_production & @everymancinema for putting on @tribalmark premiere last night. All the feedback after was overwhelming – #TribalMark as a character has been years in the making and I’m happy he is finally born.“

Young Mark, played by Jude Carmichael, struggles to adjust to a new life in London after migrating from his home nation of Nigeria.

The actors and production staff are 90% minority ethnic, and the project has been hailed as the first of its sort in British cinema.
“Tribal Mark” will be released in theatres for two weeks, from January 26 to February 11, 2024. Tickets will also be reduced to the price of £13.
