(Yona)

Actor. Musician. Athlete. Creative

“I created Fangs because I wanted to contribute to the need of more authentic representation of minority talent in Italy. I wanted to create something that features a predominantly black cast that is fun, relatable, ironic and does not focus on the color of our skin nor our struggle. Fangs takes cliches and stereotypes and turns them on their head. It’s not what you expect, nor is it something you’ll ever forget.” Season 2 will be available soon.

Styx

“Styx is a short film that focuses on music and loss. It is loosely inspired by the greek myth of the River Styx as it focuses on a difficult promise made between a piano student, Nile, and his mentor/teacher, Sasha; and the potentially devastating results if this promise isn’t kept. I wrote Styx for my love of music and my desire to share it through as many mediums as possible, and I also wrote it the memory of someone very dear to me.”

Styx will be directed by Sophia Tamaro and will star Yonv Joseph, Carolo Cosolo and Iris Peynado.

Your support will allow us to use the necessary equipment to pre-produce, produce, post-produce Styx and acquire a distributor to submit it in important film festivals throughout Europe. Thank you.
