#SundanceFilmFestival 📚💕 @IdrisElba directs film based on #UrbanFiction novel 📚 YARDIE by @VictorHeadley1 📚 . #IdrisElba had fun directing his first movie, '#Yardie', but it was more difficult than he expected. . The 45-year-old actor has stepped behind the camera to work on 'Yardie', and though he had a lot of "fun" making a film for the first time, it wasn't easy. . He said: "I consider myself fortunate to have had the opportunity to direct this material, with which I can identify quite a bit. . "The story takes place in #London and #Jamaica, and it's based on the #novel [#VictorHeadley's 'Yardie'], which was popular urban fiction in the 1980s and 1990s. . "It's been a lot of fun but the hardest thing I've done. I never realised how difficult it was going to be, but I loved it and getting to spend time in Jamaica was phenomenal..." 🇯🇲 .
