Edem Wornoo is a British filmmaker and screenwriter living and working in London.

Last year, Wornoo was one of five unsigned British directors to win a place on Three Minutes – Crack Magazine’s incubator scheme funding five music videos by rising talents. The scheme is produced in association with our production company Ground Work and made possible by Burberry, Shure and BFI NETWORK. The project has also received funding from the England European Regional Development Fund as part of the European Structural and Investment Funds Growth Programme 2014-2020.

Enter Wretch 32, the iconic Tottenham rapper who, across almost two decades on the scene, has cemented a status as British rap’s most insightful and imaginative storyteller. From legendary radio freestyles to searing political commentary, his reputation is built on a knack for pairing slick wordplay with poignant messaging. In 2021, his place in the pantheon of the genre is secure.

To launch his surprise project little BIG Man – a nine track meditation on “incarceration, violence and poverty” – Wretch worked with Wornoo on an epic 11-minute short film weaving tracks from the project into a narrative about the cycle of reoffending, inner turmoil and home. 

Shot on location in London, the film explores themes of work, community and performance with scale and sensitivity. Watch the film in full via the player above (headphones and big screens recommended) and get to know the country’s fastest-rising music video director.
