 "I'm a queer mixed race rapper who went through the care system, lived on the streets, went from LDN to NYC, my dad is an ex-gang lord & my grandfather was a Pakistani soldier who had a bounty on his head. My family literally went from terrified refugees to petty criminals to being in the spotlight. There are no smooth transitions or shades of grey on my life's spectrum. What are my goal posts? Who do I look up to? How do I navigate in this industry and this fucked up world? There's no precedent for me. I am it."
"Winging It" is a biographical documentary film about British-Pakistani rapper and producer Deneil Khan. Co-directed by Khan himself, the film follows his rise to fame, creative process and his perspectives on his upbringing, family history, LGBTQ and race issues as well as the public controversies he has been involved in. Khan interjects old video tapes from his personal collection, media footage and off-the-cuff current recordings while narrating sporadically to compile the documentary. The unconventional styling of the documentary was Khan's choice as he felt it best suits his unusual story and erratic personality.
"I've never given an interview in my life. I've had #1 records across the globe but I don't sit and chat shit with E! News. I hate how intrusive the media and this generation can be. People just want soundbites and love to twist things to suit their own agendas. I stay away from that but I know it leaves so many questions unanswered. I feel like one big question mark myself. The same shit clogs up my Twitter feed - "Why did you do this and that...?", "What do you think about this and that...?", "Why haven't you spoken out about this and that...?", "Why do the Khans act like that?", "What was it really like on the streets?", "Why did you do what you did to Mandy?". This documentary will answer everything you need to know. This will speak for me from now on. Got a question? You'll find the answer in Winging It. You want to know my story? Well here's my fucking story, fam."
ooc: Won't be writing an entire documentary film, of course but I hope to post key scenes. Feel free to post your thoughts after I make scene posts. I'll be updating sporadically and I have no set structure so no need to wait until I'm "finished". Treat this thread as if it's in real-time response like we do when we have an opinion for the Twitter thread :)Edited by user 13 December 2018 10:06:48(UTC)
