Beware of Dog

“It felt right to make something and cover a theme that you don’t see in movies often, yet is extremely relatable to a lot of people whether they are comfortable admitting or not,” says Bedzhanova, regarding her brazen take on mental health issues in the film.

Beware of Dog is set to make its world premiere at the 2020 Slamdance Film Festival in Park City, Utah in the Narrative Feature Section. After the festival, Bedzhanova intends to screen the film in various cities, including New York and throughout Europe. For updates on the film, head over to their Instagram.

Uyi Drops Roadman Anthem 'Sticky One Styll'

May 09, 2025

If you've been online lately, chances are you've seen Uyi in full roadman mode. Inspired by the U.K. cult hit show Top Boy, Uyi has taken the character from screen to real life — and now he’s bringing it to his latest music drop, ‘Sticky One Styll’.

For the past month or so, Uyi's been teasing the single to his followers, and the response had been unmatched. The whole concept? Uyi’s pointing out how British actors keep crossing the pond and taking roles in Hollywood. Now, he wants to reverse it. As an American, he's setting his sights on the U.K., making his own mark on their turf. That’s where ‘Sticky One Styll’ comes in — part music video, part performance art, part social commentary.

The video, dropping in full today, is pure Uyi — he’s behind the direction, the music, the writing, the whole thing. It’s chaotic, smart, and super self-aware. And if you’re wondering how far he’s taking the character? Let’s just say he showed up to a Lacoste event in roadman attire and fully in character. The Cut even named him Best Dressed of the Week. Not bad for a full tracksuit look.

Head to toe in Nike Tech, Uyi has got the UK persona down to a science, with some in the comments even speculating that he is really a Brit posing as an American. Perhaps they’re right?

Midnight Runner

May 08, 2025

Midnight Runner is the story of a man who doesn’t need a finish line. Once a rising star in the world of endurance running, he’s long since slipped off the radar and he likes it that way. No sponsors, no cameras, no bullshit. Just the road, the dark, and the sound of his own breath. He runs not to chase glory, but to stay human a nightly ritual of sweat, silence, and stubborn freedom. While the rest of the world scrolls, scrolls, scrolls itself to sleep, he’s out there moving like a ghost in foil armor, wired on memory and muscle. This isn’t a comeback story. It’s not a fall-from-grace. It’s a portrait of a man who said to hell with the system and kept running anyway.
