"Taste of New" a short film . It was my story, chasing loneliness, or forgiveness, maybe facing mental health illness. As soon as I let it go, there she was, at the beginning of that new journey. It was really hard facing toxicity, thinking there where no chance for a tomorrow again.. No love, no more.. Self-love was obviously an energy gainer during the journey, I still went for it, and I went for her too, and it was more than adrenaline, dopamine, endorphins not stuffs like that. It was a pure & healthy love diet we were on. I was inspired in this project by my so idyllic & so real love story with my regretted precedent favorite human and partner; I wanted to associate my love story to a train journey like in “les voyages en train - Grand corps malade”, i revisited the story behind with mine truthfully. The edits chosen for this project are in direct alignement with how soft & dreamy I see love, regardless of what one might think love color is. Something I deeply appreciate on this project is the sound design by Madiba , it’s a unique environnent that was engeneered and curated by this very Producer that gives the Space to my emotions to simply exist in the form and shape I wanted them. Dinadèle stays a big part of this project because she held our hand all together with her vision and that helped us to go though the project. Neil played a key role as he was the one telling us the story with his body, his emotions and the way all that together was living in the Time and Space we all created together to best express the feelings behind my vision of love and one’s identity. All thanks to this fantastic crew i was able to bring together as professionals and as friends in whom i trust and who trust me as well.

Du Kwat… au monde. 🌍🎥✨ Pendant des mois, nous avons construit dans le silence. Chaque image peaufinée. Chaque émotion protégée. Avec une seule certitude : notre histoire mérite d’être entendue. Aujourd’hui, Le Quotidien du Cinéma révèle une première étape de cette aventure. Mais le moment que nous attendons tous… arrive. La World Premiere de Sous le Soleil du Kwat sera annoncée dans quelques jours. Ceci n’est que le début. 🔥 « Tout est possible à celui qui croit… » 👉 Restez connectés. Activez les notifications. Le Kwat arrive. #SousLeSoleilDuKwat #FilmAfricain #CinemaAfricain #Bonaberi #ntoubadikongue - From the Kwat… to the world. 🌍🎥✨ For months, we’ve been building in silence. Every frame refined. Every emotion protected. With one conviction: our story deserves to be heard. Today, Le Quotidien du Cinéma reveals a first step in this journey. But the moment we’ve all been waiting for… is coming. The World Premiere of Sous le Soleil du Kwat will be announced in the coming days. This is only the beginning. 🔥 “Everything is possible for those who believe…” 👉 Stay tuned. Turn on notifications. The Kwat is coming.

Sous le Soleil du Kwat was filmed on the sacred land of Bonabéri— a place where our director’s heritage is not just remembered, but lived. What once felt familiar became extraordinary, as our streets, our light, and our everyday moments transformed into cinema. Through her direction, the soul of her homeland reveals itself. Each scene is carried, elevated, and brought to life by the rhythms of Makossa, in collaboration with Sallè John — a living legend whose sound breathes even deeper emotion into every frame. Because the true beauty of filmmaking lies here — in capturing fragments of life shaped by culture… in preserving what is real, what is felt… and in reflecting the world we live in. What began on the sacred land of Bonabéri now echoes beyond borders. And today, we are honored to introduce the people who brought this vision to life. Making a film is never simple. It demands trust, passion, and unwavering commitment. And this story exists because a team came together — driven by purpose, united by vision — to create something greater than themselves.

Happy International Women’s Right’s Day 🌸 Celebrating women everywhere - their stories, their grace and their strength shape our world daily 💖
