Below are Will’s SELECTS:
I don’t think they talk about shorts enough, so here are some that come to mind when I close my eyes.
The synergy between this writer and this director must be studied. They ended up winning the Jury Prize at the biggest short film festival in the world that year! I was there (Clermont-Ferrand 2020).
Another proud African moment. This brother is the first Ghanaian director to get his film selected at Cannes. The b*stard beat me to it…
10 shots in 10 minutes and still left me hanging. Chester’s on his own time.
The seed that my brother sowed. Now look at God.
Brotherhood at its finest. Not gonna lie, they robbed Egypt of an Oscar nomination that year… Never forget.
This Senegalese woman is in her own world. NeoAfroFuturistic revelations and I’m here for it… Alicia has the keys to the ‘other side’.
The only non-African on this list but rightfully so because that’s my brother for real. Almost died with this mastermind. Now we have a story to tell, stay tuned for ‘PARADISE’…
I know what you’re thinking, self-promotion. You’re right. After being viscerally inspired on the set of ‘Fauve’, I wrote my first short film in 2 days. ‘ZOO’ was supposed to be a music video but God had bigger plans. Shout out Criterion Collection.
My latest short film, unreleased but I hope you get to see it at a festival near you this year and the next. This film healed my grief. My last short before the feature! Onto bigger things.
