New interview with Okayafrica on my process and why I made my film “Orisha’s Journey”

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!

Here's an album cover I made for the Swiss-Indian rapper/producer @deng.strg (Prince Deng) for his upcoming project "Pink Lotus." I had fun mixing sci-fi/fantasy elements inspired by his unique music and the ancient imagery of the Hindu goddesses Kali and Lakshmi. Please feel free to follow his page for updates on his music!
