SWIPE FOR BIG NEWS!!
Today, we officially announced the launch of our media company, Fanaticus Media Group! To top it off, we brought our inaugural project, Calabash, to AfroBerlin following a wonderful reception at our Sundance private screening!
This marks a monumental milestone as we build an ecosystem and infrastructure for diaspora storytelling.
What an incredible honor it’s been to grow alongside Djimon over these last eight years. Thank you for trusting—and believing in—me to spearhead FMG! I do not take it lightly, and I am eternally grateful.
To everyone that has rooted for us along the way, THANK YOU!
Let’s get to work! Truly living in answered prayers. 🥹✨
And thank you to Zac Ntim at @deadline for breaking the news with this wonderful article!
There are certain moments when years of hard work finally starts coming together. I knew when I first met @djimon_hounsou and @gemma_rocha and our missions were so perfectly aligned that we could make some special things as a team. So honored to be a part of Fanaticus Media Group. Congrats to you both!
I’m proud to be a filmmaker. I’m proud to be African. I’m proud to be telling these stories on the big screen.
Thanks to my manager, @johnathantynan for being integral to the journey.
And we’re JUST. GETTING. STARTED. 💪🏿💪🏿🌍🌍
CALABASH COMING SOON!!
