What Goes Around Comes Around is the latest film project from screenwriter/director Steve -Tehut Nine- McAlpin. The film which examines love and relationships features appearances from dancehall personalities Flippa Mafia, Mavado, Ding Dong, KC Jockey and Florida-based sound system selector Supa Twitch.
What Goes Around Comes Around recently opened in select Caribbean communities across the United States, and based on reports, the film has been playing to sold-out audiences.
This column caught up with McAlpin and he expressed his pleasure at the reception that his third project has received so far.
Kevin Jackson: Did you expect the kind of response that the film has been getting?
Steve McAlpin: I didn-t know what kind of response to expect. Writing and shooting the film was a labour of love and I just hoped that people would relate to the storyline favourably and so far they have.
KJ: What is the story behind the movie and how did the title come about?
SM: It-s about relationships in varied forms and stages. We have father and sons, husband and wife, best friends, brother and brother, mother and daughter, girlfriend and boyfriend, each dealing with a plethora of issues that plague most relationships today. Some of the issues include insecurity, infidelity, betrayal, resentment, trust and promiscuity.
KJ: Where were the scenes shot?
SM: The film was shot in South Florida
KJ: What kind of budget did you work with this time around?
SM: The budget was much larger than my previous film Bashment. Without going into specifics it was well over US$100,000.
