Writer Statement

This film, based on my poem of the same name, is an interpretation of the prophet Elijah’s ascension from his fear of Jezebel, living off of the feed of birds through to being taken up by God into heaven.

Inspired by Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s 100 Years of Solitude , I will utilise the fantastical elements to enhance Seraphim’s themes.

Through a careful and nuanced lens I look to deliver a piece that is sensitive to the black male experience of mental health and relevant to those looking for purposeful works.
