About Alison

As a filmmaker, Guessou's aim is to tell those stories that are not often told, and to bring to light the characters that we rarely see. Her belief in having diverse perspectives represented behind the camera will add to the narratives of today. Her goal is to develop feature films that bring the experience of our communities to life; not only stories which speak to the concerns of our time but also provide entertaining stories through diverse casts and crew.

Prior to filmmaking, Guessou worked as a Project Manager for multiple agencies. As a Bachelor's in Business Administration and Master's in Project Management graduate, she is the founder of Djini Productions dedicated to enhancing the dynamics of film production. Guessou is a writer, director, and producer. Her directorial work includes the 9-time festival nominated short film "911". She is currently in post-production on her dramatic short film "What Marilyn Didn't Know", and in pre-production on a comedic short film "Happily Married After".
