I was recently interviewed by the SVA alumni blog and got to talk a bit about my thesis film "Orisha's Journey"... Feel free to check it out!

PART 3- I took the original concept of “The Lady, Or the Tiger?” by Frank R. Stockton and decided to create my own version with original characters and dialogue. Here are the storyboards. (Please see other parts for the whole story) WIP

I got some good news from Cairo, Egypt today! My film will be screening next month (March 20-27, 2015) at the Cairo International Cinema and Arts Festival for Children... This means a lot to me because this will be the first African Film Festival my film will be a part of. Thanks to all my friends and family that helped on this project.

Here's an album cover I made for the Swiss-Indian rapper/producer @deng.strg (Prince Deng) for his upcoming project "Pink Lotus." I had fun mixing sci-fi/fantasy elements inspired by his unique music and the ancient imagery of the Hindu goddesses Kali and Lakshmi. Please feel free to follow his page for updates on his music!
