Rap superstar, grime pioneer, fashion icon, Glastonbury headliner. Michael ‘Stormzy’ Omari’s hat already has many feathers in it – and now it has another: lead actor.
The south Londoner is starring in a new short film for Apple called Big Man.
Shot entirely on an iPhone 16 Pro by Surge director Aneil Karia, it gives the musician-turned-actor, who has credits in Noel Clarke’s Brotherhood and Michaela Coel’s TV breakthrough Chewing Gum, a first starring turn.
Full of pisstakey humour, much of it aimed at the overinflated egos of musical superstars, Big Man follows a world-weary musician called Tenzman as he struggles with his diminished status and daily life’s various headaches. Then he bumps into two kids by chance and the trio team up for a heart-warming journey to Brighton.
Take 20 minutes out to soak up the good vibes below.
