Film Festival

ARTIST STATEMENT: As a filmmaker and a photographer life is never dull. I am always creating and telling stories. My passion started in teens where I picked up my first camera. My journey truly began at Toronto Film School where I learned everything I could about filmmaking and always brought my photography skills into it. For the last six years I have continued to learn about filmmaking and photography. This industry is forever changing and adapting just like my passion. I could not see myself anywhere else.

ARTIST STATEMENT: I’m an immigrant filmmaker, I find in the ordinary the extraordinary. There are hundreds of stories yet to be told and I see filmmaking as the art of controlling chaos we just need to listen to the messages our surroundings send us. My love for films began the moment I faced my fear of darkness to see a movie in a theatre, an event that changed my perspective and keeps reminding me that life is about the little decisions we make, and all it takes is a leap of faith.

ARTIST STATEMENT: My name is Nomhle Michelle Moyo and my film journey started recently, when I was younger. I’ve always thought about how cool filmmaking must be behind the scenes.

Learning how to set up lighting, edit and create films. Now I have developed a new passion that has given me a new world to explore and enjoy!
