Ramla Ali Read Every Draft of In the Shadows and Says She Earned Her Executive Producer Credit
In the Shadows is directed by Anthony Wonke and stars Top Boy actor Jasmine Jobson. Ali says she worked hard behind the scenes, reading every draft of the script and being on set every day of the shoot.
Ali even body doubled in the boxing scenes. Ali’s summary is blunt: some executive producers just write their names on the film, but she worked for that title and earned it.

Take
Ali’s line is a quiet indictment of the vanity credit. The proof of the title, in her telling, is being in the room: every draft, every day of the shoot.
Pushback
Earned how? Reading every draft and being on set every day is development work; body-doubling in the boxing scenes is a better story but a different kind of labour.
