Hello.






A Somali-American producer/director based in Chicago, IL, his work explores nuances in contemporary America from a comedic, yet serious tone with a keen interest in aesthetic eccentricity & pastiche-rich design.

Deeply inspired by the stylistic experimentation of prominent avant-garde African-American filmmakers like Melvin Van Peebles, Julie Dash, and Terence Nance, his work breaks the molds of traditional filmmaking techniques to explore the delicate relationship between style & identity.

Originally from Wisconsin, he utilizes his unique American upbringing to reflect on modern Western culture from a rarely visited perspective. Recently, his film A Sweetness of Lapse premiered at the 29th Black Harvest Film Festival and won the special jury prize in the Milwaukee Film Festival 2024.
