I Know You're
Fucking Lying
"The most dangerous person in Imani's life smiled the warmest."
A psychological drama set across a single Friday night. Four friends, one apartment, and the quiet recognition that the person you trust most has been systematically dismantling who you are. Resolution is internal. Four words, spoken straight to camera.
I build images from the inside out, treating color, light, and composition as the language of feeling rather than decoration.
Trained first as a painter and art historian before film, I came to the camera already thinking in tone and gesture. My work lives in warmth and shadow at once: intimate interiors, faces caught between what they show and what they hold. I work end to end, writing, directing, and shooting through my studio, 12th Market Studios.
An Emmy-nominated filmmaker, I am currently moving my film IKYFL into production — a psychological drama about being truly seen. Open to directing, cinematography, and end-to-end production work.
