“Willow: House of Griots” is an Afrofuturist multiverse series that follows an elected alt-world observer, known as a Griot, as she ascends to power in a vampiric world on the verge of collapse.

It’s set in an alternate world, called Moja One, where the 1811 German Coast Slave Revolt, leads to an entirely different version of America: One led by primarily Black and Indigenous people.

This is a project I began over ten years ago, originally as a stage play. It went up on its feet at New York Theater Workshop, with Mosaic Theater’s Reg Douglas as the director. Ten years and hundreds of rewrites later, I teamed up with producers Suswana Chowdhury, and Pierre Jean Gonzales. We shot the first scenes of our short film: “State of Emergency” in the Fall of 2020.

Two years and nearly a hundred revisions later, we premiered the short film at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe on October, 22nd, 2022. That was Followed by a live stage reading of Episodes 1-4 on June 2nd 2023, and another short film screening of the director’s cut on Sunday, June, 18th, 2023 at the Black-owned Stuart Cinema. While the short film will be available for sale on Amazon later this year.

We need your help NOW.

Right now, we are fundraising to film our upcoming 1-hour pilot episode “Willow: House of Griots” TV series. We’re looking to raise at least $30,000 by September.

So, no matter how you give, no matter the amount, every contribution is an IMMENSE help to this production.

Please make a contribution, no matter the size, here. And let’s make this dream a reality!
