Afterglow wrapped a year ago today. With that, I’d like to announce that the incredible, BAFTA-nominated Hugh Quarshie (Stephen, Holby City, Star Wars) has joined our cast as the voice of the A.I. in the film. We’re almost ready. More news to follow.

“It felt so real, I was right there.”

Emmanuel Imani (Geek Girl, The Wheel of Time) plays Tarak in the upcoming science-fiction drama Afterglow — a Six North production, co-produced by @cubestudiosuk, supported by @bournemouthfilmschool’s Funding Futures programme, and executive produced by Oscar & BAFTA-winner Kevin McGrath OBE.

The project is written, directed, and co-produced by Singaporean-Indian filmmaker Arvind Jay in his debut independent short and produced by Anjishnu Noor Purnota (@sincerely.anj).

A glimpse into #Afterglow, a sci-fi drama about legacy and loss, following a #Nigerian-#British family as they navigate their lives through love and tragedy.

Director note by @uhvind:

“It’s truly wild to see this film slowly come to life. It honestly feels like a visceral page turning in this chapter of my life.

Afterglow has been made possible through the monumental efforts and sacrifices of so many—from our #EP Kevin McGrath, to the incredible cast, @roy_kimani, @jameshakesley, @owen_riseley at @cubestudiosuk, @bournemouthfilmschool and my incomparable crew. We can’t wait to share this with you!”

A time-bending story of fathers, sons, love, and legacy. Afterglow, written and directed by Arvind Jay, is brought to life by the powerful performances of Emmanuel Imani @teamimani), Tomi Ogunjobi, Emmanuel Ogunjinmi (@compozer_), Stephanie Ocampo (@stephanie__ocampo), and Promise Elukanlo. A bold co-production by @cubestudiosuk and @sixnorthstudios, Afterglow embarks on its festival journey in 2025. With @theacademy & @bafta winning Executive Producer Kevin McGrath on board, we’re excited to see where this story takes us next.

We’re thrilled to announce that British-Nigerian #actor @teamimani will star as Tarak in our latest collaboration film, @afterglow.short - written and directed by @uhvind of @sixnorthstudios and produced by @sincerely.anj.

Emmanuel’s powerful performances have captivated audiences in @netflixuk’s #GeekGirl, @PrimeVideo’s #TheWheelofTime, and @itv / @amazonprime’s #RICHES.

Beyond his on-screen success, Emmanuel has also written and directed Demons, a poignant exploration of Afro-Queer culture that bridges the worlds of the Lagos LGBTQ+ community and the British diaspora.

With #afterglow, Emmanuel continues to push the boundaries of storytelling, bringing depth and humanity to every role he takes on.

We can’t wait to share this journey with you.
