NKEMEFUNA

In the summer of 2021, i had the pleasure of working on a short film written and directed by Kaelo Iyizoba.

The story Nkem and Ike, a pair of Nigerian-American siblings still dealing with the death of their father, who perished in the Twin Towers. Nkem left home after his death; upon her return years later, her presence precipitates unresolved issues with her brother, leading to a public confrontation. As the siblings struggle to work through their issues, a looming threat crystallizes.

This film has been accepted at the New York African Film Festival 2022 at Lincoln Center as well as the Phoenix Film Festival 2022.
