FILM SYNOPSIS

Zeen? follows Chad, a pretentious white Jamaican filmmaker determined to create what he believes will be a sophisticated social drama titled Brothers in Babylon. Surrounded by a chaotic and underprepared Caribbean cast and crew, Chad attempts to maintain artistic control as the production steadily unravels around him. As filming progresses, tensions emerge between artistic ambition and cultural understanding. Chad’s self-important approach to filmmaking clashes with the realities of the production environment, exposing questions about authenticity, privilege, and the way Caribbean stories are represented on screen. The crew’s interactions gradually reveal deeper frustrations related to ego, identity, and creative ownership, turning the filmmaking process itself into a source of comedy and conflict.

Through satire and exaggerated situations, Zeen? critiques both independent film culture and performative intellectualism while celebrating the humor, unpredictability, and resilience found within Caribbean creative communities. The film uses comedy not only for entertainment but also as a lens through which issues of race, cultural identity, and artistic credibility can be examined.
