Fredro Starr
Multi-platinum recording artist. Founding member of Onyx. Veteran actor of over thirty films and television series. THE TUNNEL is his most personal work to date — written, directed, and starring.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, Fredro Starr emerged in the early 1990s as one-fourth of the legendary rap group Onyx, whose debut album "Bacdafucup" went platinum and re-wired the sound of east coast hip-hop forever.
His acting career began almost immediately — opposite Tupac Shakur in "Sunset Park," then in Spike Lee's "Clockers," "Save the Last Dance," "Light It Up," "The Wackness," and dozens more. He has shared the screen with Bokeem Woodbine, Forest Whitaker, and Danny DeVito.
Behind the camera, Starr has spent the last decade developing original work — short films, music videos, and now THE TUNNEL: a feature he describes as "the movie I was put here to make."
"We were the last generation to grow up without a camera in our pocket. That meant the night belonged to whoever was awake for it. THE TUNNEL is me handing that night back to the city. Uncut. Unedited. On film."
