As a 90’s kid we had different VHS tapes. Marveled as a kid on “how are people on my screen? what are these sounds? Those were the moments

my interests peaked. Also influenced by music, movies & cool ass friends with like minds whom sparked my interest even more. Worked hard to buy my first camera; learnt a lot off YouTube mostly & i met some cool mentors. Been up from there.

Opulent, Sexy, Stylish, Foreign. Only bosses relate.

WHICH IS DEMANDING; STARTING OR FINISHING A PROJECT?

I learnt to divide my process into three parts: the beginning, the middle (plot twist), the end. All three parts demand direction, but usually for me it’s the starting & ending with a boom.

HOW DOES YOUR SOCIETY AFFECT YOUR INDUSTRY?

There’s always that heat of the moment, usually a trend that sets the wave. Although in certain situations, the consumers never really knows what they want until somebody sets the trend. So as a creative, we either set the trend or follow one. Either way the consumer decides, speaking from a business perspective.

IS THERE A GOOD SUPPORT ATMOSPHERE BETWEEN FILMMAKERS?

Yes, if you bring value to the table & do what needs to be done, lots of creatives would relate to what you offer, find them.

THE MOST REWARDING PART OF YOUR CRAFT?

Freedom. I get to be who i want to be & express myself.

Create a more healthy environment for the ones after me. Invest in all aspects of music & film, fashion, jewelry, my own liquor.
