Amani Films was formed in 2016 in Sierra Leone, when a deep closeness to new people emerged from shared vulnerability - when civil war survivors shared their stories with me.

My vision is to uncover the essence of enthusiasm, capturing profound excitement and genuine interest for the things that bring us joy. I hold the belief that within each of us, there exists a deep, mysterious space where divine inspiration resides, waiting to be discovered and embraced. It's in this space that we hope, find courage, and believe.

I am a solo filmmaker aiming to minimize kit and resource for effective, collaborative storytelling. It is most important to me that people feel safe and relaxed as we work together. Ensuring a peaceful filming process is paramount to my filming practice. I look forward to working flexibly with clients to draw out organic content and craft a cohesive story from semi-structured questions and fly-on-the-wall filmmaking.

In an effort to be minimal and sustainable, carpooling will be used when possible, along with supporting local businesses and buying local produce to cook meals. All waste will be properly recycled, and compost compiled and zero waste will be left in any location. Films will be mostly shot on one camera and using natural daylight where possible. Additional lighting will be used in selected circumstances. Films will be fully produced and directed by one person - minimising its carbon footprint.
