Efe Kabba
I’m a multi-hyphenate visual storyteller whose artistic mission is to create films and other visual work that defy the status quo in many forms. As the daughter of a revolutionary political refugee who escaped Nigeria to fend off the threat of a hostile military regime, challenging the status quo runs deep in my veins. I tell stories that challenge conventions, that feature complex and nuanced characters, champion underdogs, and amplify voices and stories that go unheard.

DIRECTING REELLatest PROJECT
A heartfelt, darkly comedic coming-of-age drama that explores coping with challenging emotions through substance abuse. It follows an angsty teen with body image issues as she navigates complex family dynamics and plots to reclaim her agency amidst the chaos of her estranged aunt’s recent arrival. The film delves into mental health, body image, and the destructive ways we cope when lacking the tools and support for healthier alternatives.
