Within our diaspora, there’s a curious and somewhat unfortunate thing that happens. One that, as a mixed-race person, we get to experience more than most, though it is definitely not limited to just us. And that’s the thing of not being quite ✌🏾”Black enough”✌🏾. Or, even if you do “meet the quota” you’re just, ahem, ✌🏾”not the right type of Black”✌🏾 😬🫠 Yep, I’m saying the quiet part out loud. It’s a complicated discussion, and one that requires nuance. Something not synonimous with the binary sledgehammer of opinion and faux-outrage that is social media. And that’s not even throwing the Molotov of colourism into the discussion either lol On a larger scale and somewhat more superficial scale, we all saw it most recently with the Drake and Kendrick Lamar rap beef, when suddenly Drake wasn’t Black enough to say the N Word™️ 🤔 (or to be a part of Hip Hop culture in a wider sense 🙄) despite those same people who were saying that nonsense, having NO problem with him in that regard before hand. But suddently he’s not Black? Hmm.. Ask those same people who was the first Black US President and watch them squirm, as they do the mental gymnastics of battling their own ill-conceived logic. 🙃 Anyway…. ** IN TOTALLY AND ABSOLUTELY, CLEARLY, NOT RELATED NEWS ** May was an incredible month! What an experience to see @jafaicanfilm , a film I shot and edited, become the literal topic of national - actually, make that INTERNATIONAL, news lol and to see my friends, the incredible writer & director @therealfredinwaka and star @peterandre take to multiple television shows, radio shows and newspapers around the world to so eloquently discuss the project. It was also interesting to witness people on TV shows give takes that, whilst they were entitled to make them, were sometimes just flat-out wrong. With some even making multiple hilarious claims about the film that were literally false… On. Every. Single. Point.😂🫠 (Continued in the comments haha)

I had the pleasure of being Director of Photography and Editor for the hilarious upcoming feature film “JAFAICAN” starring @peterandre and written & directed by @therealfredinwaka What a production this was, shooting both in the UK 🇬🇧 and on location in Jamaica 🇯🇲 JAFAICAN gets its World Premiere at the Gold Coast Festival on Friday 9th May 2025, with its UK cinema premiere to follow.

EFM in Berlin was another great one this year, with new feature film “KIRSTY’S PROMISE” @kirstyspromisefilm , hitting the international sales market with a bang!! I provided Visual Effects, Colour Grading, Trailer Edit and full Master Deliverables for this gritty, thriller. Starring and produced by the indomitable @thesimonemcintyre and directed by Jeff Notton, the film is repped for international sales by Lucky Matrix, the same outfit behind Iran’s 2024 Oscar submission “In The Arms Of The The Tree”. Featuring an engaging, heart-rending lead performance by @thesimonemcintyre as Kirsty, together with an incredible supporting cast, the film tackles some pretty heavy topics - non-algorithm friendly, so I won’t say here lol - but does so with tact. All under the expert direction of Jeff Notton. Can’t wait for you all to see this!
