I’m a Jamaican-American independent filmmaker currently based in South Florida, my birthplace. My work is driven by interests in science, speculative fiction and fantasy, as well as documenting the unseen and unheralded nuances of diasporic people. I am one of Filmmaker Magazine's "25 New Faces of Independent Film 2020" and a 2022 USA fellow. My most recent film T has screened at BlackStar, Sundance and Berlinale, where it won the Golden Bear. It closed its festival run at New Directors/New Films and is currently streaming on The Criterion Channel. I am currently writing a Black sci-fi set in Opa-locka, Florida. This will be my feature directorial debut.
I’m co-founder of Third Horizon, a Caribbean artist collective whose production work has landed us at Toronto International, Sundance, BlackStar, Sheffield Doc Fest and many more around the world. Third Horizon’s flagship Caribbean film festival is hosted in Miami annually, as well as satellite festivals throughout the Caribbean and the States.
I have an aversion to plastic goods and packaging, I enjoy gardening and I keeps ma berd feeder filled.
