Andrew Dosunmu - Restless City

Wings, a new in flight magazine just interviewed Andrew for his upcoming film "Restless City."
This rates pretty high on my list of great opportunities.....    Aside from being a great friend, Andrew is a very talented photographer and Director.  Being on set for me was more than shooting behind the scene, it was inspiring to see him fulfill his dream.  Restless City is a love story shot in NYC amongst a community of beautiful African Immigrants.  My job was great...

I was surrounded by a super talented crew, there you see (squatting) Bradford Young the Director of Photography, with the leading lady Sky Nicole Grey.

"For me, it is very Important that photography and film-making can be used in the reverse - to decolonize images of Africa because almost everything that is known about us is known through  photography."  Andrew Dosunmu - Wing Magazine 2010

Eagerly anticipating the release of this feature film from the short directed by Dee Rees, Director of Photography Bradford Young.

I had the pleasure of shooting behind the scene, it was an amazing experience to see her dream unfold.

35 Shots of Rum (2008)

“35 Shots of Rum,” a quiet and lovely new film by the French director Claire Denis, is partly concerned with measuring that distance, the bewildering chasm between huge and tumultuous international movements and individual lives. It is self-evident that the story of Joséphine and Lionel, an African immigrant whose wife was German, is bound up in a complicated history of demographics and political economy. The fact that nearly all of the characters in this film are French while few are white is a further index of how the European landscape has changed in recent decades.

Relentless

Relentless is the directorial debut for Andy Okoroafor, the Editor in Chief of Clam Magazine and Founder of Clam Films where "Creativity Never Stops."

RELENTLESS from Fortproject on Vimeo.

"Relentless, is a celebration of Africa, the music, the sensuality, the joy, the jokes and the laughter, the energy, the sheltering sky and the hope that the good men will prevail. It is also a film about Lagos, the biggest African city and how ordinary people navigate this challenging untamed urban jungle. From the security guard to the prostitute, from the big time politician hoping to pull the strings of power, to the okada driver hoping to make it big.

Finally, it is an acknowledgement of the possibilities that lie in the modern African experience; it is to shine the world's light on us, if not for our ingenuity, at least the acknowledgement of our will to survive. I am hoping to tell that African story through film, like Fela did with his Afro beat music and Chinua Achebe and Wole Soyinka did through literature and touched the world." - Andy Okoroafor -
