Director: Omaall Jabulani Wright
Genre: Drama
Tun Back Blow is a gripping supernatural Jamaican drama from Omaall Jabulani Wright that explores jealousy, consequence, and the dangerous power of ill intentions. Inspired by the Jamaican proverb “Spit inna di sky, it drop inna yuh yeye,” the film follows Miss Irene, a struggling mother desperate to see her son succeed while watching his best friend, Omari, excel with ease. Driven by fear and frustration, she seeks the help of an obeah woman to curse the gifted child’s future — but when her own son unknowingly consumes the cursed food, the plan backfires with devastating consequences. Rich in Jamaican culture, spirituality, and emotional tension, Tun Back Blow is a cautionary tale about envy, sacrifice, and the truth that evil intentions often return to the sender.
The film is written and directed by award-winning Jamaican playwright, filmmaker, performer, and educator Omaall Jabulani Wright, widely known as “Majah Bless.” With more than two decades dedicated to Caribbean theatre, film, and arts education, Wright has become a powerful cultural voice whose work blends social commentary, emotional storytelling, and authentic Jamaican experiences. A graduate of the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts, where he earned both a Diploma and Bachelor’s Degree in Drama in Education, Wright has consistently used performance and storytelling as tools for empowerment, healing, and transformation within Jamaican communities.
His acclaimed stage production Belly Woman earned widespread recognition across Jamaica’s theatre circuit with 11 nominations and 6 awards, while his short film Hope and Dreams received the 2025 GATFFEST Director’s Award. In 2025, his poetry was also featured in Bob Marley: Hope Road, a major stage production that premiered at Mandalay Bay. Beyond filmmaking and theatre, Wright has served as a drama educator and mentor at institutions including Holy Childhood High School, Denham Town High, and Tivoli Gardens High, while contributing to national and community initiatives through organizations such as the Jamaica Social Investment Fund and the National Housing Trust’s Music for Social Transformation programme. In 2023, he was selected by the Royal Court Theatre and the British Council as one of twelve Caribbean writers chosen for their prestigious “Writing for Performance” residency, further cementing his place as one of Jamaica’s most impactful and dynamic creative voices.
