Tell us about your experience at the Hip Hop Film Festival South Africa? My experience with the Hip Hop Film festival South Africa was epic, to say the least.

Why are stories from the culture important? Stories from the culture are important because they are reflecting the times that we are living in, and thus, helping us to have a better understanding of ourselves. Also, they are archiving history for future generations to be able to look back and make sense of whatever circumstances they find themselves in.
What projects are you working on now? One of my projects - Conversations with Millennials is actually a four-part docuseries, so I am currently in post-production, finishing off the rest of the episodes.
Why do you think the Harlem film house and Hip Hop Film Festival South Africa is important? I think that they are important because they are bridging the gap between content creators in South Africa and the States. Thus, beginning some sort of revolution, within the African community worldwide.
