WM: With regards to your new short film, what message, for you, is the film looking to resonate, in essence what are, or is the fundamental inspiration behind the short film?

HKB: The new film 'NiNA' is a chance to look at love from a different angle; it's also a chance to explore the idea of tradition versus modernity. By that I refer to the traditions are we ignoring in pursuit of our modern lives?  What if you are the descendant of a long line of warriors or spiritualists or royalty or farmers? What if for hundreds of years your family only did those things, but in your generation you have to become a policeman? What if your body remembers who you are but you don't?  These are some of the questions that led to the creation of the NiNA film.These stories are about exploring the culture of, essentially being Black life; the mysticism, the science fiction, the struggles we all face as people in largely huge & indifferent cities. These stories are trying to look at the post pan African reality we now all live in, hence the main reason I'm adding films to my bow is because I feel the time is right to tell our story, essentially because I feel the time is right for such a story to be told, and this is regarding the meaning of 'Black' peoples and the many cultural realities facing Black culture, and told in a way that adds to the greater tapestry of life in Britain.  For me there are so many Black people intermingled with mainstream society, making it that much more possible to explore Black history in the UK, of course with reference to the presence and the present place in UK society, with determination, not subscribing to traditional stereotypes.  So, with reference to ‘Nina’, this short film I’ve done, I honestly feel people can handle a story about an all-black cast, I feel that Black culture can handle the idea of an all-black film that isn't remotely bothered or interested in exploring race, and because these stories are not interested in exploring the binary argument of Race.

WM: With respects to the intensity of the social order as it is, in respects of the quality of music, film and art impacting on the everyday psychology of listeners/watchers, how important is it to you that humour reserves a place in what yourself produces?

HKB: For me humour is an important aspect of life, especially modern life, a Jamaican axiom says: 'if you don't laugh, you'll end up crying', I think we all face so many trials and tribulations, daily,  understanding how often we need to use humour to release the tension, because of this humour to me is very important.

WM: What plans for 2015 does HKB Finn has, and what advice, if any, does HKB Finn have for listeners who've become somewhat disillusioned with the culture of your art forms today?

HKB: For 2015 I plan to make a few more short films, exploring love from a different angle, I'm also trying to finish an album for a September release, so as you can imagine it's a very busy time.  My advice to anyone who is disillusioned in anything is to remember how wonderful you are, or how wonderful we are when you consider your cultural belonging, or how wonderful life, remind yourself why you loved what you loved when you loved it. Sometimes we become disillusioned because we stay in one place too long, sometimes the solution is much simpler than the problem, sometimes all we need is change.

WM: FiNN, not only has it been an insightful interview, its also truly one we'll remember.
