“It’s amazing to be nominated for the Risiting Star award. I couldn’t have asked for a better start to the year."
With the critical and commercial success of Adulthood and Kidulthood, do you think you stand a good chance of winning?
“I really don’t know. The other nominees have been in massive movies and all my films have been UK based. I think I have an equal chance as the rest of them, but hopefully my fans will come out and support me.”
Do you think you’d ever do a sequel to Adulthood?
“I don’t think so. I think we’ve kinda done those films. But you never know, if the Adulthood fans all come out and support me, maybe I’ll do a third one for them .”
What do you make of the new Dr Who, Matt Smith?
“I think he’s great, I don’t know him personally but I think he’s a fresh face, someone who is both new and exciting and I reckon he is going to do a brilliant job.”
What’s your plans for the rest of the year?
“I’m appearing in two films, Heartless and Doghouse. Obviously I’m writing my own movies later in the year aswell.”
