Movies by Sticky Fingaz

Sticky Fingaz has carved out a unique niche for himself in the world of independent cinema, blending his raw, gritty sensibilities as a hip-hop artist with a bold, visually striking directorial style. Born Kirk Jones, this multitalented creative first made his mark as a member of the legendary hardcore rap group Onyx, known for their hard-hitting lyrics and unapologetic attitude. Now, as a filmmaker, Sticky Fingaz brings that same uncompromising spirit to the screen, crafting urban dramas that delve deep into the struggles and complexities of life in the inner city. His films, such as the taut thriller Caught on Tape and the poignant character study A Day in the Life, are marked by a raw, documentary-like aesthetic that puts the audience right in the middle of the action. Yet, beneath the surface grit, there is a perceptive eye for human emotion and a willingness to tackle difficult social issues head-on. Most recently, Sticky Fingaz made waves with his 2022 release Brooklyn Knight, a crime drama that explores the consequences of loyalty and moral compromise within the criminal underworld. This film showcases the director's ability to blend edge-of-your-seat suspense with profound thematic depth, cementing his reputation as a unique, uncompromising voice in contemporary independent cinema.
