Here's Selorm on the most pivotal moments in his career so far:

'The most memorable moment of my career was definitely the journey of creating my award winning film Man To Man. The idea of being this 18 year old kid writing a whole film with a production company I admired, then starring in it alongside David Harewood MBE to then taking the film all around the world, including my dream location LA, was just surreal and it all started from an idea in my notes app.'

'But the best part about it all was that my family, was able to witness that journey and really see how far and seriously I wanted to take this career in my work as an artist. The film opened up doors for me to work with Idris Elba, create work both in my ends of Croydon and in the states, and begin to see what other boundaries I can break by creating my own work with my community in taking things into our own hands. I’m excited to see what comes next though!'
