This film explores the journey of Emma Ekersley, employee of Accenture who, like many black and mixed race people, experienced a complicated relationship with race and identity. It was a great privilege to be asked to direct Emma’s story and as with all of my work, I hope this film encourages the viewer to stop and think about a lived experience other than their own as well as validate the experience of those who have and are going through something similar DIRECTOR Lou Jasmine PRODUCER Sam Breen DOP Fola Abatan SECOND CAMERA Tatiana Telle FOCUS PULLER Eyyaz Chisty GAFFER Sonny Mihajlovic-Drake PRODUCTION DESIGN & WARDOBE Paix Robinson FASHION EDITOR Roisin O’hare MAKE UP Kayla Selway MOVEMENT DIRECTOR Muti Musafiri PRODUCTION ASSISTANT Grace Matthews EDITOR Leon Carlton COLOURIST Nigel Tadyanehondo PRODUCTION COMPANY Kream London COMMISSIONED BY Accenture & Accenture UK Careers NARRATION Emma Ekersley CAST Kassi Jameson Deji Tiwo Edwin Louis Ethan Richards Leanne Blossom Michelle Tiwo
