In 1975, Steve Sasson, a Kodak engineer, invented something extraordinary: the first digital camera. It was clunky, low-resolution, and ahead of its time. Sasson showed it to Kodak executives. Their response? “That’s cute, but it’ll ruin our film business.”

Instead of using storyboards, I design the scenes directly in 3d. This is necessery because of the long shots where the camera is moving a lot. I explore a rough version of the set with a virtual camera, often finding unxpected discoveries, almost like on a live-action film set.

Conan the Barbarian (1982) turns revenge into a journey instead of a moment. The whole film feels like one long build toward payback, shaped by loss, survival, and pure will. By the time Conan strikes back, it feels earned in the most brutal, old-world way.

In 1935, Jomo Kenyatta left for London to study economics. He ran out of money and took a role in the film Sanders of the River to survive. Marketed as pro‑African, the film instead glorified the British Empire. This was a betrayal to Kenyatta because what was promised as a dignity for Africans became propaganda for colonial rule. Kenyatta never spoke about it again.
