Intro
The need and want to express myself as a filmmaker of colour brings me to BIPOC/Film in Colour. I have a vivid imagination and I would like to tell universal stories that explore history, love, race and politics from a non-western point of view. I am currently developing several original one-hour TV Show Specs in the following genres: Drama, SyFy, Fantasy, and Action.
