I am a multi-faceted filmmaker, screenwriter, and cinematographer driven by a deep passion for visual storytelling. After completing my studies in Film and Television at Open Window Institute, I established Kenscendence Studio Pictures, a fully registered and self-funded production company. Through it, I’ve written, directed, shot, and produced a number of films—Apostate, We Cry Together, To Love, and Martyrdom—several of which have gained international recognition across film festivals in Europe, the U.S., and South Africa. I believe in mastering every aspect of the filmmaking process. Whether I’m behind the camera, building a narrative, or solving problems on set, I approach each project with intent, creativity, and an eagerness to learn and evolve. Constructive criticism fuels my growth, and I constantly seek new ways to push my craft forward.
