Gino J.H. McKoy

Gino J.H. McKoy was born in Trinidad and Tobago to Hudson and Lynda McKoy, former banking executives.[4][1] In his childhood, he became interested in science fiction.[5]

In 2006, McKoy released "Soca Warriors Anthem" for 2006 FIFA World Cup which partly references the chorus of "Road to Italy," a 1989 hit soca song by SuperBlue, associated with the Strike Squad team.[6] Another song, "West Indies Forever", which was produced by him in 2004, was played at the inaugural ceremony of 2007 Cricket World Cup.[7][2] During his music career, McKoy was affiliated with Bertelsmann Music Group.[8]

In 2015, McKoy wrote the script for Little Mizz Innocent, a film starring Olga Kurylenko.[9][10] The film follows a UN interpreter entangled in a conflict between the FBI and a criminal organization.[11][9]

In 2020, McKoy wrote and directed a sci-fi action thriller film named Lumina, starring Eric Roberts.[12] It was filmed in Morocco.[13][14] The project's origins date back to 2019 when a distribution agreement was signed with Entertainment Studio Motion Pictures, involving FilmNation, Lionsgate, and Netflix.[1] In March 2023, the film was acquired by Porter+Craig Film and Media.[14]

McKoy is also collaborating with Michael Sloan to produce a new film, Spidersweb, set to begin shooting in the summer of the following year.[2] The film will be filmed in Morocco.[2]
