The Big Man brightens the day of two little kids from the block or maybe the kids change his life.

Apple released a short film shot entirely on the iPhone 16 Pro, starring rapper Stormzy in the lead role. The movie has the same breezy feel as the shores of Brighton, where the story unfolds.

It follows two kids trying to scam Stormzy’s character. Although he quickly catches on to their clumsy tricks, he decides to humor them—and ends up taking them on a ride, hoping to teach them something about living right.

In the end, it’s Stormzy’s character who realizes he might’ve needed that connection just as much. The experience sparks something in him, and back in the studio, he’s ready to create his next hit.

In just four days, the film racked up over 5 million views on YouTube. Unfortunately, Apple disabled the comment section—which is a bit of a letdown, since it would’ve been great to see how fans were reacting to the project.
