Film Director in Dakar
Commercials, music videos, brand documentaries — from Dakar, for the world.
An image of Dakar
Dakar isn't a backdrop, it's a material: hard light, bold colours, street energy. Directing here means working with all of it, not against it. The result — images with a texture you can't fake in a studio.
Formats
Commercials, music videos, brand documentaries, artist and corporate portraits. Short or long, vertical or cinema — the approach adapts, the eye stays the same.
