We are going to Tribeca Film Festival!

ByPeppa Herrera May 12, 2023

Incredible news! It is my pleasure to announce that my new movie, Bad Like Brooklyn Dancehall, will have its World Premier at Tribeca Film Festival this year on June 8th at The Indeed Theater at Spring Studios in Tribeca (50 Varick Street). I am proud to be a producer on this film, along with Misfit Entertainment, Decentralized Pictures, the Jasco Group and Shaggy! This film is the first feature of the year under Ramfis Productions and the second project under the Hyphen Grant. It brings me a lot of joy to have been part of this project as it represents exactly the type of storytelling we want to present to the world: projects that highlight the cultural richness, complexity and quirks of the Caribbean-American.

Bad Like Brooklyn Dancehall was shot in New York City and Kingston, Jamaica under the guidance of executive producer Shaggy, and complemented by the safeguarded VHS tapes from notorious videomen of the times. This film satisfies the need for documentation of stories about the remarkable rise of the most under acknowledged music genre and its ever-present influence on a younger generation of Caribbean-Americans.

As you may know, young Jamaican immigrants across Brooklyn were coming of age during the 80s and 90s they were drawn to dancehall music to keep connected to life back home. Their preservation of key elements of culture through deejays, sound systems, and energetic dancing in New York’s seedy underground provides the unique atmosphere for an influential movement that was bubbling up in the shadow of hip hop.

I encourage you to set your alarms when tickets go on sale on May 2, at 11 AM EST, as they will sell fast! We will also host a special event when I will join the rest of the crew in discussing more about the making of this project. More details about this coming up soon so stay tuned!

For more information about the project you can visit our website, the Tribeca Film Release, and Deadline!
