2084 

In the year 2084, the fate of mankind will rest in the hands of a total moron.

"2084" is an experimental sci-fi/comedy that was shot in the director's cramped living room with a cast of three, and a crew of one.  We hope you enjoy it!

Weird 

"Weird" is a monologue about the diversity. It is a scream of a girl, used to be judged as weirdo and different. She dreams to delete the concept of weird. She thinks that weirdness is only a point of view, nothing more than a personal perspective.

Hummingbirds in the Trenches

This documentary short is a beautifully crafted profile piece of writer Kondwani Fidel and the city of Baltimore by Jackson Tisi.

It is recommended to full screen the video and use headphones to get the full cinematic experience.

Writing, of course, is writing, acting comes from the theater, and cinematography comes from photography. Editing is unique to film. You can see something from different points of view almost simultaneously, and it creates a new experience.

Volta [Director’s Cut]

The relics of Ghana's colonial past still occupy large stretches  of the coastline.  Towering from the cliffs, former slave forts are the grim sentinels of a brutal past.

Stolen from their homes and categorised as mere merchandise, these dark dungeons would have been the final vision hundreds of thousands of enslaved men and women saw before being loaded onto slave ships and transported to the far flung corners of Europe's rival empires.

200 years after the end of the transatlantic slave trade,  children in Ghana are once again becoming slaves…this time in their own country.

Lake Volta, Ghana: the world's largest man-made lake sustains thousands of lives - but its fishing industry is too often built on the backs of vulnerable children. Most are younger than 10. Many are trafficked against their will. The overwhelming majority suffer abuse and work long hours in life-threatening conditions.

Henry, a Compassion centre director, is fighting the practice. "We teach our young people about their rights." he says. "We teach them to look out for each other and report any time they suspect a child would be trafficked or abused. I know that when these young people grow older, we will be free of child traffickers forever."

The most amazing thing for me is that every single person who sees a movie, not necessarily one of my movies, brings a whole set of unique experiences. Now, through careful manipulation and good storytelling, you can get everybody to clap at the same time, to hopefully laugh at the same time, and to be afraid at the same time.
