BLACK, BRITISH; THE FEMALE IDRIS (ELBA)
London, UK
News
"I'm so proud to be part of The Force—arguably one of the most important boxing films ever made. Michael Watson’s faith and determination are profoundly inspiring, and Joan Watson’s journey decades later carries the same weight of devastation. I hope my contribution does justice to her story.
We’re now in post‑production on the thought‑provoking Kilter. It was an incredible experience leading alongside the very talented Dionne Neish and loved working with Oscar‑shortlisted Ivan Francis Clements (Gone Fishing). I’m excited for the upcoming film festival run.
Out now: my collaboration with BAFTA nominee Lee MJ Daley on the conceptual film Pick Up Your Weapons.
I’m equally proud to have played a supporting role in the powerful story Jellyfish and Lobster by Yasmine Afifi."
Serguté Mariam
Her passion for storytelling is the driving force behind her dedication to acting. She is immensely grateful for the outstanding collaborations she has had with talented directors and actors, and eagerly anticipates the enriching experiences that lie ahead. A pivotal moment in her journey was working with Mel Churcher where she gained valuable insights that sharpened her craft. Serguté achieved remarkable success in "Jellyfish and Lobster," a multi-award-winning film by Yasmin Afifi and Rufai, which won the prestigious Best Film Award at BAFTA. This milestone marks a significant step as she confidently forges her path as a comedy actress and writer.
