bio
My journey as a creative starts early as I receive runner-up at the 2016 DSTV African Eutelsat Star Awards for a design promoting awareness among young people about the vital role of satellites in Africa's development and their future applications, to winning Best Animation at the Cannes Film Awards in 2023. I directed an animated short titled Marumong (land of the Bullets). The movie is based in my home country Botswana, it’s a historical story that pays homage to African soldiers who fought in the Second World War. In 2021 I animated a short film titled Cocoon along with a Team of 7 animation students, the film was to raise awareness on children’s rights in France. It went on to win The Enhance Majuscule Childhood Media Prize 2021. I then went to work for a South African studio working on short film titled Sam the Hedgehog, the film raised awareness on Autism and Mental Health in South africa.
Most recently, I directed another short film titled Maatla, geared at raising awareness on endangered animals in Okavango delta Botswana ,I lead a team of 6 creative young people passionate about using arts for social development and change, we were lucky to have our film selected as part of the Fast forward Siggraph event , having our film screened and awarded at the Barbican in London.
I also proactively pitched short films and participated in Animation film festivals, I participated in a 50-Hour animation contest in partnership with an NGO where I animated a film titled Egalitée des chances femmes, on gender equality. This project sparked an interest in issues of gender equality and gender-based violence across the African continent.
I had a significantly successful progression as I continued to work for a French Game studio for 1 Year as a lead Game Artist, At the end of my contract, I moved to Botswana with the intention of contributing to the local creative community.The Multichoice Talent factory presents an opportunity to learn and to connect with other creatives to do this successfully.
