A group of prisoners trapped in a crashed prison bus strive to stay alive when they realize there is a mysterious killer lurking in the shadows.

No Exit follows a young woman trapped in a seemingly ordinary corridor, only to repeatedly return to the same starting point. At first, she searches for a way out with logic and patience, testing doors and marking walls, but nothing leads forward. As time begins to loop and reality subtly shifts - objects move, sounds stretch, and familiar patterns distort - her attempts to escape become increasingly frantic. The corridor feels smaller, the air heavier, and silence grows suffocating. Without dialogue, the film relies on sound, atmosphere, and visual repetition to chart her unraveling. By the end, it's unclear whether the prison is physical, psychological, or both, leaving the audience to imagine the boundaries of her reality - and question if there was ever an exit at all.

Harambee: The Weight of Division is a 2025 short documentary that revisits Kenya's 2007-2008 post-election crisis, a violent chapter triggered by disputed presidential results. Over 1,100 lives were lost, and more than 600,000 people were displaced in the chaos that followed. Through a carefully curated blend of archival footage and observational storytelling, the film avoids sensationalism and blame. Instead, it shines a sober light on the emotional toll of political unrest, how fractured trust, grief, and fear ripple through generations and communities. By focusing on the human stories behind the headlines, Harambee becomes more than a historical recount it's a reflective, urgent reminder of what is at stake when national unity is compromised. The film concludes not with answers, but with a call to confront painful truths, to heal, and to recommit to the ideals of democracy, peace, and patriotism.
