Director Biography - Naomi Ogidan Gunnarsson

Currently earning my BFA in Film and Media Arts at the University of Tampa. For me, storytelling is the most compelling part of filmmaking. I want to tell stories that are driven by complex and resilient characters who go against the norm of society—those characters who dare to take risks and choose to challenge difficult situations. I want to tell stories whose characters cause discomfort and guilt. Characters like these, have the power to impact audiences’ inner emotions, and spark something real and, yet, indescribable.

Director Statement

When I first decided to make a film about QbGino, I had no idea that I was going to continue follow his career journey, and make the film into a part series. I realized that there are a lot of steps and obstacles an artist must go through in order to get their name and work out in to the world. I thought, why not just follow him from the beginning?

As you watch QbGino, you realize that he is just a normal guy, trying to fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming a rapper.
