Mae dau ddieithryn yn ofni cerdded adref yn hwyr. Wrth iddyn nhw geisio dianc oddi wrth ei gilydd, mae eu bydoedd yn gwrthdaro ar groesffordd gan eu gorfodi i gwestiynu pwy maen nhw’n ofni a pham.
Karimah is a Montreal native, London and Toronto-based filmmaker whose work is centered around crafting stories that dive into themes of overcoming and succumbing to social expectations, how self worth is built and broken, and the dark truths that live within us all. Her narrative short Scaring Women at Night (TIFF, VIFF, FNC ‘22), adapted from the short story written by Ace Clamber, follows Ash, a young trans man grappling with his new dynamic with women. Most recently she’s had the pleasure of directing a micro-interview series on 8 female founders for Porsche.
In development is ‘4 NAMES’ a short film exploring the close to home realities of modern-day sex trafficking based on the life events of 2 x JUNO nominated recording artist, STORRY. Alongside her co-writer Ace Clamber, she’s developing a feature about a son’s journey reconnecting with his estranged father online.
Mae Karimah yn frodor o Montreal, yn wneuthurwr ffilmiau o Lundain a Toronto y mae ei gwaith yn canolbwyntio ar grefftio straeon sy’n plymio i themâu goresgyn ac ildio i ddisgwyliadau cymdeithasol, sut mae hunanwerth yn cael ei adeiladu a’i dorri, a’r gwirioneddau tywyll sy’n byw ynom ni i gyd. Mae ei stori fer Scaring Women at Night (TIFF, VIFF, FNC ‘22), wedi’i haddasu o’r stori fer a ysgrifennwyd gan Ace Clamber, yn dilyn Ash, dyn traws ifanc sy’n mynd i’r afael â’i ddeinameg newydd gyda menywod. Yn fwyaf diweddar mae hi wedi cael y pleser o gyfarwyddo cyfres o ficro-gyfweliadau am 8 sylfaenydd benywaidd ar gyfer Porsche.
Mae ‘4 NAMES’ yn cael ei datblygu, sef ffilm fer sy’n archwilio realiti agos at gartref masnachu rhyw modern yn seiliedig ar ddigwyddiadau bywyd STORRY, gaeth dau enwebiad fel artist recordio JUNO. Ochr yn ochr â’i chyd-awdur Ace Clamber, mae hi’n datblygu ffilm nodwedd am daith mab yn ailgysylltu â’i dad sydd wedi ymddieithrio ar-lein.
