Field producer, director, and photographer on a documentary project exploring waste burning and its impact on communities in Sharpeville. Working with a single cinematographer, I spent time embedded in and around active waste sites and open burning areas — producing, directing, and shooting stills on the ground. The work required patience, trust-building, and a sustained presence in a difficult environment to capture the human reality behind an environmental story.

Field producer, director, and photographer for a documentary spotlighting the Green Africa Youth Organization's Zero Waste Accra project, commissioned by the Clean Air Fund.
