Biography

Film directing and photography duo Twofold (Wes and Simba) works across narrative, commercial, and culture-led visual storytelling at the intersection of film, photography, and contemporary African expression. Their dual approach fuses cinematography-first perspective with photographic and conceptual lens, balancing cinematic movement with striking stillness, pairing emotional storytelling with bold visual composition. Drawn to stories living in the between, countries, identities, generations, genres, their work explores belonging, aspiration, and modern African life. They drive culture forward by expanding visual language of African storytelling, moving beyond stereotypes to reflect complexity, beauty, and contradictions of contemporary life, using film to archive moments, shift perception, and inspire new ways of seeing.
