About Me

I am an award-winning independent filmmaker based in Harare, Zimbabwe, dedicated to storytelling that captures the soul of Southern Africa. Driven by a passion for the region’s people, landscapes, and rich heritage, I approach every project with care, integrity, and a commitment to shedding light on stories that truly matter.


Specializing in conservation and social impact narratives, I use film, photography, and writing as powerful tools to raise awareness, inspire action, and deepen understanding of the pressing environmental and societal issues of our time. My work highlights the resilience of rural communities and explores the complex dynamics behind environmental decision-making, offering a platform to voices and stories often overlooked.


Through my craft, I aspire to spark meaningful conversations, provoke thoughtful reflection, and contribute to a broader appreciation of the diverse challenges and opportunities that shape Southern Africa’s future.
