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! -Abdul

Hi, Some good news from Zimbabwe's International Images Film Festival for Women. My film will be part of a festival for an audience of women, which I think is really awesome! Women of color have to deal not only with racism, but they also have the added burden of sexism as well. So for a positive event like this to take place in Africa (where a few countries still practice female circumcision among other sexist nonsense) it's a step in the right direction to help spark the hopes and dreams of a more informed generation of women in Africa.
