Director: Tinge Krishnan (“Junkhearts”)
Cast: George MacKay, Michaela Coel, Joe Dempsie, Arinze Kene, Luke Norris
Details: Netflix’s largest acquisition of a UK film to date with a multi-million dollar pre-order, “Been So Long” has been dubbed a neon-soaked musical and modern day love story set on the streets of Camden. Adapted from Che Walker and Arthur Darvill’s acclaimed stage musical at the The Young Vic, the BFI and Film4-backed project incorporates a diverse soundtrack including RnB, Nu Soul, UK dance and cinematic orchestration.
“Chewing Gum” star Michaela Coel and “The Pass” actor Arinze Kene team on the project about a dedicated single mother who, on a rare night on the town, is charmed by a handsome yet troubled stranger igniting old and new feelings in this ever-changing city. Tinge Krishnan helms the film which has a very strong British producing pedigree.
