Shingai x Ancient Futures

  • Derrick Kakembo

Directed by Derrick Kakembo, Ancient Futures is a short music film showcasing three songs from Shingai's debut solo EP.

I produced, directed and collaborated on creating a short music film for British Songstress for her debut solo EP, Ancient Futures.

Ancient Futures is a short music film showcasing three songs from Shingai's debut EP, Revolutions, Zimtron, and Champion Styles, each pulsating with a bass-heavy beat. The accompanying visuals take us on a journey, of black masculinity, black girl joy, resilience, and afro-futurism
