About Candidate
Director | Writer | Editor |
I am a passionate Kenyan filmmaker with over five years of experience in directing, writing, and editing for film and television. I focus on telling authentic, deeply human stories that reflect the realities of life in Kenya, often exploring themes like gender-based violence, mental health, youth identity, and personal transformation.
I am the creator, director, editor, and executive producer of A 1000 Street, an independent drama series that premiered on ViuSasa. I also directed and executive produced Blank Space(lift off session fesitivals nominee), a short film that explores emotional silence and inner conflict. Both projects were fully independent, and I oversaw every stage from development and casting to production, post-production, and distribution.
Beyond filmmaking, I’ve trained upcoming filmmakers in workshops at institutions like Machakos University, and I’ve provided consultancy for organizations like Filamujuani , KEMRI, and the Centre for the Study of Adolescence (CSA) and MediaCrest Digital, where I contributed to creative direction, training, Documentary and Video testimonial.
For me, filmmaking isn’t just a career it’s a calling to tell stories that speak to the heart, challenge norms, and give voice to the unseen.
