Sharing my film work
In 2021, I got into a Forecast Mentorship Program and the Late Koyo Kouoh was my mentor. Koyo guided me through turning my research on West African ingredients into moving images by way of a documentary, and three short films available for screening.
Reach out to me if you’d like to know more, to have the films screened as part of festivals and more.
In this 2020 project for the first phase of my Forecast mentorship, I explore the legacy of West-African culinary, botanical, and agricultural knowledge and its global impact on development along with barriers.
For the second phase of my Forecast mentorship in 2021, I approached the storytelling from a more cinematic perspective, working with poet Tolu Agbelusi to bring it to life. Here are 2 of the 3 films. The 3rd, not screened, focuses on sugarcane.
