Musician Mike Skinner turns actor and director with 'The Darker the Shadow, the Brighter the Light'

FILE - English rapper and singer-songwriter Mike Skinner poses for a portrait during the promotion of his film"The Darker the Shadow the Brighter the Light" on Oct. 6, 2023 at the Hoxton Hall theatre in London. He wrote, directed, edited and starred in a feature-length movie, “The Darker the Shadow, the Brighter the Light.” It is accompanied by an album of the same name released last Friday — the first album from The Streets in 12 years.

Skinner jokes that it didn’t really feel like he had “much choice” in taking on all of the roles in the filmmaking process, because “no one was going to give me any money to do it.” It took seven years. The movie has been screened in several venues round the U.K. and Europe, with Skinner taking part in question-and-answer sessions afterward. He likens the film tour to “DJing, but not in the middle of the night, which is great.”

And after the album's release, The Streets are hitting the road. Skinner says he’s looking forward to the tour — especially after the “nightmare” of finishing his movie.
