After years of racking up praise at film festivals and at home in Jamaica, Storm Saulter’s Better Mus’ Come—which has been called the Jamaican movie production since The Harder They Come— is finally set to hit US theaters this weekend. The movie, a period piece set against the real-life political upheaval of late ’70s Jamaica starring Sheldon Shepard of Jamaican dub poetry group No-Maddz and model/actress/singer Nicole “Sky” Grey, begins a week-long theatrical run in New York City and Los Angeles on Friday, March 15 at the AMC Empire 25 and Downtown Independent, respectively. One-night engagements will also be held in seven US cities—Atlanta, Chicago, DC, Houston, Philly and Seattle— on Wednesday, March 13.

Storm Saulter’s award-winning Better Mus’ Come, starring Sheldon Shepard of Jamaican dub poetry group No-Maddz and model/actress/singer Nicole “Sky” Grey, has been heralded as one of the best Caribbean films since The Harder They Come. We’ve been on board from early, and even featured Storm and the movie in one of our earliest LargeUp TV webisodes. If you live in New York, perhaps you saw us in the building for Better Mus’ Come‘s New York City premiere, at the Walter Reade Theatre at Lincoln Center. The place was full to capacity, with viewers sitting in the aisles just to catch the flick. (Check out the webisode from that, too.)

Interview by Sherman Escoffery—
After first catching our attention in Storm Saulter‘s award-winning Jamaican feature film Better Mus’ Come, in which she shined as the female lead Kemala, Jamaican model-turned-actress Sky Nicole Grey is back on our radar with her role in Restless City, director Andrew Dosumnu’s intoxicating look into the experience of young African immigrants in New York City. Grey, who, it turns out, is also a budding recording artist, stopped by our RadioLily.com show The LargeUp Sessions week before last and chopped it up with our Sherman Escoffery and DJ Gravy about her roles in the aforementioned films, and to give us a taste of her debut single, “Lollipop.” Read on for portions of that interview, and check the African American Film Releasing Movement website to see when you can screen Restless City in your city, if you haven’t caught it already.
