I am thrilled to start the year off right by announcing that my first short film has made it into @barbadosfilmfest ! Gorgeous poster by @irelan_annette

This is a dream come true as I set a goal for myself to have my first premiere happen right here in Bim, among the people and on the island that raised me.

Last summer, I was embraced by a group of talented, kindhearted people who have so much to give to the world. I know I have been forever changed by our collaboration on this little film.

There’s an entire village to thank. The highlights:
