Since living in Tel Aviv I have discovered an amazing scene. In this film I get to know one collective from the city. I spent the afternoon in the studio with Mo Rayon and Rejoicer from the Tel Aviv beat label Raw Tapes, talking to them about Tel Aviv's music scene, capturing as they made a freestyle beat for us and had a chat about their label.

NuNairobi: The City That Hustles Together, Makes Music Together.
I made this documentary (director, producer, sound recorder, editor etc) about the music scene and youth culture of Nairobi, Kenya. I spent 6 months in Nairobi documenting the artists and scene here, learning about their lives, art, tribulations and life as Kenyans. In this doc I portray the incredible vibrancy of the music scene but also some of the difficult realities of being an artist here.
