About
I am creating a speculative fiction short film exploring a father and son's journey into a realm beyond death, merging solar geoengineering, Rastafarian philosophy, and cosmic exploration to delve into themes of mortality, spirituality, and ancestry.
Impact
'IF NOT NOW' redefines human existence through ritual and performance, challenging the boundaries of life and death. It explores AI, spirituality, and human connection, inspiring new perspectives and dialogue on our future.
Progress
Supported by Serial Pictures, we filmed at ONX sound stage with NY movement artists Bones and Brixx, featuring music by Jamire Williams. Currently in post-production, the film has secured funding from Warner Media, MAP, Sundance, and Tribeca.
Team
My background in architecture, film, and visual effects uniquely equips me to blend advanced visuals with narrative depth. With a cultural connection to Jamaica and the diaspora, I redefine cinematic boundaries, exploring speculative fiction.
