Biography
A recent graduate of Awil College formerly known as AFDA BOTSWANA. Studied motion picture for four years with a major in screenwriting and directing, second majored in film editing.
I have experience in screenwriting short films, feature films, documentaries, children's cartoons, ads, telenovelas, daily dramas and series. The experience was garnered in and out of school.
My short film Turf wars won three awards at the 2019 48 hour Gaborone film competition while my other short film was averagely ranked 28 in the International Lift-Off Global Network Online film competition 2020.
Besides all of this, I believe I embody the spirit of a nerd😅, always yearning for knowledge and skill.
