What an honour to direct Michaela Coel as part of the BMW x BFI filmmaking challenge launch film. The way this evolved into it’s final form was one of the most awing moments like watching seed grow into a plant before your eyes and see the amount of people who watered it to help it grow into the beauty it’s become. I couldn’t have been more grateful for every single name in the credits.
My heart is so full from the fact that I got to start 2022 with a Ravyn Lenae music video and end it with my first commercial ever featuring Michaela Coel for BMW & the BFI. Thank you!
