Hello everyone,
It's my first post so allow me to introduce myself. I am a Film Director based in Nakuru Kenya and I have one feature film under my name and several short films. I recently finished writing the screenplay that if produced will work as my second feature - action movie highlighting human trafficking menace.
The current trend seems to be preference for African made films. I am available to work with any producers either as a Writer or Director or both for an African made story biased towards action, sci-fi, or family drama, so if you are looking for an African director I'd be happy to collaborate.
Many thanks and all the best to everyone.
