Who I Am

Director, Producer, Curator and Cultural Bridge Builder

I am a Grenadian-born creative entrepreneur, director, producer, and curator — a key figure in the Caribbean's creative economy, building bridges between Caribbean filmmakers, institutions, and global markets across the United States, Europe, and Africa.

With a background in advertising law and brand compliance at J. Walter Thompson (JWT) in New York, and an MFA in Film from the City College of New York, I bring together creative direction, operational execution, and strategic thinking.

"More than just a filmmaker — a visionary leader combining cultural preservation with innovative business strategy to establish a sustainable and globally competitive Caribbean creative industry."

I founded and lead Mprojekts Creative Group and the 12°N, 61°W Grenada Film Festival — delivering strategic communications, brand positioning, film production, and institutional programming for UNESCO, UNICEF, the European Union, and CARICOM. The work ranges from national public awareness campaigns to cross-regional cultural programmes, always rooted in a commitment to authenticity and measurable impact.

As Caribbeans, we should see ourselves as world citizens — and our storytelling, our locations, and our networks should extend to every corner of the globe.
