As part of S.M.I.L.E-ing Boys Project mission to tell counter-stereotypical visual stories about Black boys, they partnered with GUAP to produce a short film supported by Jordan Brand and JD Sports. This film centres the voices of Black boys, inviting viewers into their lives to explore their aspirations while affirming their right to be heard, seen, and championed through a lens that highlights their humanity. Kay Rufai's happiness research informed the framework of the film, collaborating with and empowering the participants to bring their authentic voices to the storyline. This film implores us to create a world where Black boys feel safe, free, and supported to realise their potential. This is more than a film—it's a call to action. Let's champion Black boy joy together

Concept for Samsung and their range of most recent Galaxy phones from the Z flip to the Note and S ranges.
Used a range of their existing advert and compiled them into my own version.
Song: Jake Bugg- All I need

Concept trailer for a Apex Legends. Used Ill Factors song “Champion Sound” used for Assassin’s creed Syndicate back in 2015 and used it to create a let’s say ‘TV spot’ for Apex Legends using trailers from season 1-10.

Created a short trailer for my favourite video game franchise using footage from their release trailers ( 3, Black flag, Unity, Syndicate, Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla)
A mash-up of how I imagine a fast and furious video game to look like. I used the trailer from The Crew video game and clips from Fast and Furious and Furious 7.
