SAU (Stories Are Us) is a New York based production collective/company founded by myself and is comprised of me and three other members. Since it's inception in January of 2019, we have produced, written and directed a variety of short films along with freelancing professionally on other Indie film sets as a unit to help bring other creators visions to life. Apart from film, we have began to expand as a multi-media art collective ever since we began making our very own magazines that are filled with creative photography, articles, and updates on our upcoming projects.

I was the writer/director of various short films under Stories Are Us. I was responsible for conceptualizing and scripting a handful of projects. Along with fulfilling the director position as I orchestrated the vision for each film through every leg of production.

As the creative director for the SAU magazines, I was responsible for conceptualizing the creative photography within each magazine, while also giving direction to models on set. I was also in charge of set dressing and designing various models and set for two SAU magazines. This meant that I was responsible for props and clothing pieces for each shoot while also checking measurements for models to make sure each article of clothing would fit them perfectly. I was also responsible with compiling a look book for wardrobe for each shoot to help execute the overall vision for each photo series in every magazine.(press the "download" Icon to view)

At the tail end of 2020, I was the assistant director for a political ad for Latinx politician Johanna Garcia as she was running for District 10 City Council.

Learned the foreground of what it takes to maneuver through industry level productions with a variety of hands on exercises and workshops that properly trained me on how sets are organized and run. I as well had extensive storytelling lessons and class sessions that helped me chip away at who I am as a storyteller and the stories that I value telling as a Nigerian-American. I also collaborated with other storytellers to properly convey visions for produced scripts and oversaw productions along with learning how to structure budgets and acquire outside resources for these stories.
