Earlier this March, I directed and wrote a commercial for @afisilvertheatre and @africaworldnowproject for the 22nd edition of the New African Film Festival

It all started in 2025, when I attended the festival for the first time and watched my first film there. It was a powerful experience, both as a filmmaker and as an African. I couldn’t understand why more people didn’t know about this festival. So this year, my goal was to help spread the word and introduce the festival to as many people as possible

Thank you again to @mckmunthali and @toddhitchcock1 for your trust and the opportunity

Much love to everyone who contributed to this project, both near and far
