This is our Zimbabwean action-fantasy anime. Animal totem powers. Tournament. Murder mystery.
We’re finally taking the pilot to Kickstarter.
Would love to get your support before we launch later this year :)
The works are available on Etsy: https://blackcollage.etsy.com
Have you ever dreamt of what you’d do if you ever got your hands on one of these rich, elite predators who prey on children and use their wealth to avoid justice? Check out my first chapter, “Red Room”, for a little catharsis!
It follows a cyborg vigilante named Vamp who is hunting down a network of human traffickers in a pulpy, neo-noir, 80's cyberpunk setting.
I’m new to short form fiction, so just a warning that the site and the story will go through small tweaks and edits here and there as I develop things out.
Artwork by me. You can find my portfolio here: http://www.byronmosley.com

The narrative architecture is deliberately fractured. A metaphysical force called "Mevoungou" — neither place, nor being, nor desire, but something that "appears and invites itself" — functions as the film's emotional and political core. Bekolo's voiceover interrogates genre itself: "How can you make a sci-fi film in a country that has no future? How can you film an action sequence where acting itself is subversive?" The women's actions — seducing a state minister, orchestrating the murder of a government official, creating a false corpse — blur assassination and resistance into a single gesture of refusal.
