I am a filmmaker who splits time between Los Angeles and Cameroon. I went to USC's School of Cinema Television where my thesis short, Mboutoukou, was a Student Academy Awards finalist. It went on to premiere at the Venice Film Festival and play at over 100 film festivals, winning more than 20 awards. I was named one of Filmmaker Magazine's 25 New Faces to Watch. Ninah's Dowry is my debut feature and a Spring 2010 winner of the Global Film Initiative's Production Grant.
