"I Lost My Faith"

"... I was instantly captivated by the music, hearing Lola so bare and stripped back, with just vocal and piano. The songs bare all these conflicting emotions... vulnerability, confidence, regret, pressure & reclamation across all the tracks, and I wanted to ensure that these were felt, all across the narrative. I sought to capture this intimate coming together of Lola and her partner in this house, and approach the space less literally, and more as a metaphorical space where the two come together....This is further emphasised through his vocals and sound design, whilst the glass between them represents him on the outside of her brain."

Fathers

"Behold a man, Superman, this Black Man"

Dumas' short film Fathers is a testament to fatherhood as a black man. The free verse narration coupled with the hymnal music offers an audiovisual glimpse into the love and fear black men experience raising a child.
