Where African Storytelling Meets Contemporary Cinema


We're Making the Films We've Been Waiting For

Stories that are complex, layered, and unapologetically ours. For centuries, colonialism has shaped how African culture and Black women get represented on screen. We're either invisible, misrepresented, or serving someone else's story


We're developing three projects that weave magic realism, African mythology, and contemporary politics into stories that make you laugh, cry, and see the world differently.


There's a global audience waiting for these stories. Readers, women and communities hungry for books and cinema that reflects them. And there are financiers and producers ready to invest in ambitious work rooted in Black culture and Afrocentric perspectives. If you want to be part of bringing these stories to screen, let's talk.

A Place Of Safety  TV PILOT


Mental Health Drama I London Film Production


Whilst recovering from their suicide attempts in a psychiatric hospital, a romance blossoms between NICOLA and LUKE. If they can navigate dating rituals and the ward staff intent on separating them, they just might have a chance to fall in love.


A Place of Safety is a refreshingly honest, darkly funny exploration of healing and redemption, proving love can flourish even in a psych ward. Authentic storytelling that honors real patient experiences, based on the writer's lived experience through mental healthcare.
