Macka Diamond is pulling out all stops as she lets her creativity flow for the benefit of her current fans and those she is yet to win with her upcoming role in an action packed Caribbean focused movie.
The chart topping DJ, who is in high demand globally, has opened up many new avenues for herself, starting with the launching of the book, “Bun Him”, which she authored; and now continuing with her major role in the film titled, “Paradise Redemption”.
Set to be shot in Antigua, the film is said to be filled with drama. Macka told The Star that “Paradise Redemption” is about her character, a middle aged woman, whose grown daughter is in the garrison. The daughter’s boyfriend is murdered and after getting involved herself, she also gets killed.
From there Macka’s character gets involved as she seeks revenge. In doing so, the DJ said, she’ll be getting down and dirty, pulling off some serious matrix stunts that even involve riding bikes. “It’s gonna be crazy,” she is reported as saying.
No stranger to the film set, Macka has held starring roles in the Jamaican television soap opera, “Royal Palm Estate,” so she is seasoned and ready. However, as this is her first major motion picture role, she has admitted that there are a few butterflies in her system, but that will surely pass. Acting was Macka’s forte while still a student and she is certainly dramatic in all her appearances as a prominent and respected DJ.
Filming will start on January 17th and Macka has a bit of studio work to complete before leaving for Antigua.
Set to be included in what is planned as an inaugural production of a possible Caribbean series that will ‘resemble’ the Nollywood or Bollywood films – from Nigeria and India, Macka is confident that this is the start of something big. The DJ is sure that she will go on to star in other films in the future; and is thrilled to be a part of what could very well be the beginning of ‘Collywood’ films – from the Caribbean.
Yardflex would like to wish Macka Diamond all the best on her new venture and a belated Happy Birthday.
