Director Biography - Kwesa G. Drakes

A passion for all things creative Kwesa has stepped into many different fields to express his God given talents. Originally from the Bronx NY, Kwesa relocated to the Lehigh Valley area 20 years ago and began to pursue his dreams of music and filmmaking. With a deep love for the art Kwesa refers to himself as "The Creative Genius" not because it's catchy but because he's a student of all the great filmmakers of his generation. Self taught in his craft Kwesa would pick up a camera out of necessity, unable to afford quality camera work due to family responsibilities Kwesa thought it be best to invest in his own equipment and learn every aspect of the craft.

Director Statement

I wasn't ready to give up on my craft so I understood that we live in a world now where everything is at your fingertips. To simply put it, I felt as if there's nothing I cannot learn. I've been a day dreamer and a visionary my whole life and I know God didn't give me this talent to sit on.
