Telling stories that make your project stand out.
Ready for work
Karunwi is ready for their next project!
Sometime in December while we were having our quarterly review at FLA, @dharmyadams asked me what project was the most impactful to me.
When asked, this was the first name out of my mouth.
I remember Mani reaching out in December 2024 about a documentary and the details were still sketchy then since they were still shooting. Fast forward to January, when he fully explained the project scope.
Of the 3 stories told here, I was most drawn to Fola’s. I remember speaking to colleagues about him in January and by the end of the year the growth has been phenomenal.
Allow me to introduce you to AFRICA’s NEXT, a project by Empire.

Aramanda is where the misfits belong.
My role was to create the after-concert film, a visual time capsule that pulls you back into the moment and leaves you counting down to the next one.
