Chi Chi Izundu chairs a masterclass with the team behind Top Boy, with Kane Robinson (Kano), Simbi Ajikawo (Little Simz), Micheal Ward, writer Ronan Bennett and producer Charles Steel.

Set on a housing estate in East London, Top Boy is a gritty street drama that authentically depicts the real life of drug dealers, street hustle and the communities surrounding them in London today.

The masterclass, ‘From Street to Screen’, will take delegates behind-the-scenes of writing such gripping drama and mentoring the next generation of directing talent, the importance of representing and staying true to the raw and very real nature of what is happening on our streets today and how Drake was involved in bringing the series back to our screens.

With thanks to session producer:
Ben Powell-Jones, head of programming, LADbible Group
