Imagine something that starts out in your head ends coming to reality. Now imagine that your director is so good he can bring that vision to life. Finally imagine he and it is so damn good that it gets nominated for Brilliant filmmaking in the fashion category by @_onepointfour !! Low it! @yvshells your ability is unmatched. The way you see, shape and translate vision into something that actually moves people is rare. This nomination is just confirmation of what I’ve always known — you’re operating on a different level - You don’t just shoot — you translate feeling into form. What we created wasn’t just a campaign, it was a world. This nomination? Just the surface of where you’re heading. Proud of you my brother. Dream team 😤 I was also wanna say big big congrats to @stolen.greatness @shotby.drey @the.visual.aid - the level of production was everything! You put together something truly beautiful and for that I will forever be grateful. Big up everyone who worked on this. We just getting started. - A

57% of humans have experienced LOSS in the last 3 minutes. 32% in the last 3 seconds. When there is change there is LOSS and in 2022 me and @markmollison made this underground classic that was played on 1xtra that one time and was on the colorsxstudios website but they didn’t ask me to perform it. V weird. The video was directed by myself and has a measly 32K views. I nearly took it down fr. My main references for this video were Diego Velazquez’ Martha and Mary ting, my own photos and cowboys. More ART coming soon.

96% of TV shows never end up on TV. 80% of shows on TV are A*S (Amazingly * Stupendous). I’m actually a screenwriter thanks to @wearewildchildarts . @olilansley and @misschristaharris properly changed my life more than I could have ever imagined. I was on BBC2 that one time. I’ve been signed to @curtisbrown and there’s work running. Also pessiedu read an excerpt I wrote so I’m that guy. Happy holibobs.

33% of Londoners experience JOY when they watch a black and white music video. Are you in that 24%? It’s our third year JOYaversary. I started making music to direct music videos so here’s the first music video I ever directed. Someone told me it has 122,000 views. It’s on YouTube init. The radio stations didn’t wanna play it. It’s about that time I was homeless once. Or about that time when it was lockdown and I didn’t have to go out anymore. References include: @lynetteyiadomboakye , the boondocks, sex in the city, my own photography, fever dreams. Shouts to @phantom_jjjjj on production.
