I can't believe this is actually happening. I produced a film going to Sundance!!.
MAMI WATA World premiere is at #Sundance 2023! . To my team. I love you all so much. You already know. Together, we made a film that is nothing, but a pure and uninhibited expression of love for film and for dark bodies. Afrikan cinema will live forever! Thank you so much.

Produced by me. Filming and post production in Kigali, Rwanda.
Brave, transformative, necessary. This year, the identity of Locarno #OpenDoors is represented by three videos created by Nigerian director C.J. Obasi – produced exclusively for the Festival. → Discover the #Locarno78 Open Doors Screenings:

Build with your friends. Find your tribe. Stop disturbing people who are already ahead of you. They are building with their tribe.
