STEVE “Tehut-Nine” MCALPIN - Director
ACP LOCATION: Jamaica
Bio: A world renowned poet, writer and filmmaker, Steve “Tehut-Nine” McAlpin was born in Kingston, Jamaica. As a filmmaker he is the classic example of an autodidact. His love for movies and storytelling inspired him to learn the art and creative process of filmmaking through voracious reading and studies of the masters as he calls them, i.e. Spike Lee, Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, Brian De Palma, Oliver Stone, Alfred Hitchcock, Michael Mann, etc.
In 2005 Tehut wrote, directed and produced his first feature-length film, “FOREIGN”, a comedy about a Jamaican immigrant’s adjustment to life in New York. Shortly after Foreign's release, Tehut began working on his second film “BASHMENT: The Fork in The Road” which received rave reviews. On July 22, 2007 the Jamaica Sunday Gleaner wrote, "Credit the talented Steve "Tehut-Nine" McAlpin...Bashment outpaces many Jamaican-made films that have come before. The drama and intrigue make it take a back seat to none, not even the classic THE HARDER THEY COME. It compares more favorably with films by Black American Spike Lee."
Tehut’s latest film is titled WHAT GOES AROUND and is currently making it’s round in the film festival circuit.
