Director biography

Hello, my name is Brandon Mwesigwa, an entry film director. Been interested in media since I was a kid. Watched many movies and television shows as a kid and enjoyed a wide range of genres. I finished London Metropolitan University in 2024 with a degree in documentary film production. For university of East London, it was media production for 3 years. My co-director and my co director met in college, decided we should be co-directors. We made this documentary during my last year of my master's in documentary film production. Our documentary was to show the other side of board games because of how dominant video games become. We wanted to show how people enjoy board games and how they meet other people through them.

Director biography

- Matthew Voiry-Green

I am a Screenwriter and Production Assistant with a few years of experience with making short films in university. I have a passion for storytelling, writing characters and narrative structure.  Storytelling is not just an interest to me, it's a universal concept that has existed throughout human millennia, human society thrives on stories, they influence our perception and emotions. They come in many different forms whether it's films, books, video games, comics, theatre, radio plays, gossip, newspapers and even our pure imagination. I am interested in telling stories that are not only personal to me but also resonate with the audience's ego.
