Just under a couple of weeks ago I began filming my next feature in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil titled LA PYRAMIDE - a Nigeria, UK, Brazil, US, Columbia, Senegal co-production set in Brazil 🇧🇷, New Orleans, Louisiana 🇺🇸 and Senegal 🇸🇳. And as I embark on this mystical diaspora voyage, I would like to thank my international talented team, my family and all lovers of cinema. This is my most ambitious, yet personal project thus far. A new canvas, with a kaleidoscope of possibilities. A new vision. Vive le cinéma! Viva o cinema!
