Selected Projects
Living My Truth, Berlin A documentary written, directed and produced by me.
The interest of this documentary seeks to educate the mass uninformed, misinformed, ignorant, and homophobic population of Africa, delving into the progressive changes of an African transgender man.
Inshallah, Berlin A music video curated and directed by me.
The essence of the video is to display the journey of the artiste's growth from an amateur rapper to a famous artist, by incorporating shooting techniques and effects in useful variations.
The Atheist, The Agnostic & The God, Berlin Scripted, directed, produced, and performed by me.
The project is a three-part poetry work, taking the form of a short film, which dives into the relevant meanings of man's religion/belief/faith and how it has influenced life positively and negatively, the opacity, and the protagonist's personal message/story. The idea of the project is to familiarise the audience with the aesthetic of spoken word poetry and its components of literature and how it could be incorporated beautifully into a short film to derive a quality work of art that conveys the true message of a writer’s story/vision.
