Director Statement

One of my personal goals as a filmmaker is to bring more stories of the 'African-born American" to the public consciousness. We all see the African stories about child soldiers, famine, war, disease sometimes sports, but rarely do we see Africans depicted as 3-dimensional, cool or intelligent. Consequences offers a different perspective from what we normally see and hopefully sheds some light on ways to protect ourselves from the many shady characters out there.

Most people have either heard about or received solicitations from scammers like the Yahoo Boys, so as characters they are familiar and intriguing, but never fully explored in any media. We have an opportunity to change that with a smart, entertaining and thought-provoking web series.
