KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am a visionary filmmaker and producer with a strong grounding in film directing, production and video editing, known for creating emotionally resonant, visually compelling work. My film Stero premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR) and won Best Narrative at Fame Week Africa 2024.
I lead projects end-to-end: developing creative vision, casting, directing on set, and collaborating with editors and composers to refine final cuts. I also work as a freelance videographer/editor and have hands-on experience operating professional camera, lighting and sound setups.
In addition to filmmaking, I produce and manage events and social strategy for music projects like The Vibe 254, handling budgets, logistics and stakeholder relationships to deliver successful productions.
