Request QuoteI am a writer/ director born in Lesotho. After completing a degree in Film and Media Production I was involved as writer in a few productions, first assistant director, researcher and script supervisor in an international feature titled 'The Forgotten Kingdom'. For three years I was also a junior lecturer in the Film and Television department at Limkokwing University of Creative Technology in Maseru. I was also facilitator in a video journalism workshop at Kick-4-Life in Maseru for a period of about six months. I am currently in the research/ writing phase for a feature documentary: 'The Night 'Tsotsi' died'. My interests are in creative writing, journalsim, short film dramas and documentary films. I have completed a short documentary titled 'Reading Lesotho' for the African Library Project. I'm in post-production for a short documentary telling the story of a South Korean volunteer in a rural village in Lesotho. Currently I am a writing fellow at School of Art Institute Chicago, continuing work in freelance video journalism and documentary filmmaking.
