Born in Washington D.C, raised in Zimbabwe and educated in the UK.
This is Nyasha’s first foray into writing and directing film.
This short was both an expression of all the films I love and the films I'd like to make.
I really wanted to explore a way of viscerally communicating an experience, through sound, image and performance.
It is clearly very personal, I wanted to put something down to commemorate the experience of grief primarily because loss is something we are all familiar with and however painful and confusing it is, the exploration of it brings people together and hopefully provides a little light at the end of the tunnel.
I hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it.
