Currently in production the All Stars film sees Akai reunited with actors and producers from past movie projects.

The All Stars film storyline revolves around the imminent closure of a local youth club urgently in need of fundraising and will be directed by Ben Gregor and produced by Allan Niblo and James Richardson from Street Dance, with Rupert Preston, Jim Spencer and Nick Love, released under Vertigo Films and aimed at a children’s market, written by Paul Gerstenberger, writer of children’s TV series Paradise Cafe.
The All Stars film is due for release in spring 2013.
