Self portrait #3. What I’ve been up to…
- A memo
- WIPS and such.
- Working on self
- Cory Barlog Dismantling the cynical creative (all fields can catch it) - its not big or clever, you’re not discerning or special. You’re whinging, you’re bitter, your demeanour is that of a pouty child.
- Finding forever 1 & 2
- Grandmaster Eugene Cheong 🙏🏾

Proof of life. Mixtape 65
Le grande vortex de occupada es mucho profundo. We move. Mucho to be excited about, much left to do.
1. OG said “you gotta be able to turn anything into cinema my boy”. Small rep, sound and colour stuff, just to keep the wheels greased - pushing through the challenges of full time to get some roadshow material done. 🫠
2. 🚤 💕🤎🖤
3. Gold soul theory. In the wild of central London.
4. Le Grande Vortex.
5. Le Grande Vortex trezente

8. @nodiploma_ 4LIFE.
9. Drafts
10. Playing through the injuries. Running around North West with gear and this shoulder.
11. Ce soir
12. Flow state is something special. 3 days on the go, faaaacking hell.
13. Friendship, Michael Shannon. God is love. We give thanks.
14. Arteta dropping Denzel Washington bars at the end of the season. A man said “I get goosebumps thinking about the next season”.
15. 🍫
Some frames from my short “North London’s Nightcrawler”.
Smol smol before everything else.
Fun challenge - just a cheap super 35, Nightwalker Primes, and a COB light.
Good times, running and gunning.
Shout out Obafemi Kwassi Kojo the fox, my twin.

I made a short film for @retrospective_of_jupiter@roj.artwear

In this series, we reveal the creators who redefine their fields, pushing boundaries with every project. We’re excited to introduce Farai Dube — a visionary filmmaker whose work transcends traditional cinema, blending poetic storytelling with captivating visual artistry.
Farai’s filmmaking is an exploration of emotion, identity, and narrative. His style is a unique fusion of cinematic language and lyrical poetry, creating a space where storytelling becomes an experience. His latest project for us is not just a film; it is a deep, immersive reflection that challenges the norms of visual art.
Farai has delivered something extraordinary:
𝗔 𝗽𝗼𝗲𝗺.
𝗔 𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘁.
𝗔 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿.
𝗔𝗻 𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
For North London.
For the section.
