FILM FESTIVAL

Hi everyone! I want to share a TV Interview I did for the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC News) for their “Trendz” section, which aired March 24, 2016 in South Africa and on the 25th in Nigeria. It was fun discussing my background and artwork. It features a peek of an upcoming project I’m working on as well. Thanks for your time!  -Abdul

New interview with Okayafrica on my process and why I made my film “Orisha’s Journey”

Going to the Cannes Film Festival was amazing! From screening my film “Orisha’s Journey” 8 times at their Short Film Corner (which is basically a short film festival within the Festival de Cannes), meeting and speaking with Director Guillermo del Toro, and having the pleasure to watch many wonderful films it was an experience of a lifetime! Sorry for taking so long to share some of my experience on tumblr here’s a blog below for more details on my trip:) Thanks y’all!
