Inside a Self-Funded Film and Music Universe Built Outside the Industry System

Soul artist, filmmaker and independent media creator Gina Sedman has completed an unprecedented creative achievement across film, music and publishing, producing a feature film, a twelve‑song album and a companion book in only four months, entirely self‑funded and without any industry backing.

Since relocating to the UK in 2023, Sedman has independently released four full‑length albums within eighteen months and expanded her creative practice into film and literature. Her latest project, Who’s Clyde, represents a fully self‑contained creative universe spanning a feature film, an original soundtrack album and a companion book, all written, produced, filmed, edited and developed without a record label, external funding, promoter, booking agent or production company.

All work is released through her family‑run independent label and publishing company, Gico Music.

Who’s Clyde is a family‑friendly comedy‑mystery set in a stylised 1970s‑inspired world blending soul music, humour and narrative storytelling. The story follows a neighbourhood legend known only as Clyde, a mysterious figure whose presence sparks rumours, strange encounters and escalating events, drawing two detectives into a chaotic investigation filled with eccentric characters and unexpected twists.

The film features a unique casting approach, blending professional screen actors with first‑time performers drawn from the UK soul radio and DJ community, including presenters from Mi‑Soul Radio, Diverse FM, Soul Groove Radio, Rare Groove Radio and Starpoint Radio. This creates a rare crossover between broadcast radio culture and on‑screen performance.

The project also includes established UK and international actors such as Mark Springer (Royal National Theatre, Royal Shakespeare Company, Shadow and Bone for Netflix, Doctor Who for the BBC, EastEnders for the BBC), Theo St. Claire (Foundation for Apple TV+, Guerrilla for Showtime and Sky Atlantic, BBC dramas including Doctors and New Blood), along with performers including Rian Pearl and Akin Shenbanjo Jr.

Sedman’s work has received consistent UK national radio support, including a live performance on BBC Radio London’s Robert Elms Show, multi‑month playlist support from Jazz FM and ongoing championing from Mi‑Soul Radio presenters including Greg Edwards, Calvin Francis and Ronnie Herel.

Internationally, she has been recognised in California’s Coachella Valley as one of the region’s first Black female filmmakers and named among the Top Twelve Most Inspirational and Influential People of the Coachella Valley for her work in independent film and creative entrepreneurship.

Alongside her creative output, Sedman also operates multiple independent media platforms including The Indie Post Magazine, featuring more than three hundred interviews, Indie Soul Radio, and NDME TV.
