Intro/ Creative Discipline

Twofold is a film directing and photography duo working across narrative,

commercial, and culture led visual storytelling. Our practice sits at the intersection of

film, photography, and contemporary African expression, shaped by a dual approach

to image making: Wes from a cinematography first perspective and Simba from a

photographic and conceptual lens. This fusion allows us to balance cinematic

movement with striking stillness, pairing emotional storytelling with bold visual

composition.

We are drawn to stories that live in the between, be it between countries, identities,

generations, and genres. Our work often explores themes of belonging, aspiration,

and modern African life, using texture, rhythm, and performance to build worlds that

feel grounded yet elevated.

The Work We Focus On

Our work spans brand films, fashion and music driven projects, documentaries, and

shortform narrative pieces. Regardless of format, we approach each project with a

cinematic sensibility, prioritising mood, character, and visual intention over spectacle

alone.

We are particularly interested in collaborations that allow us to engage with culture

authentically, working with artists, brands, and communities to create stories that feel

lived in rather than observed or forced. Whether crafting intimate portraits or high

energy campaigns, we aim to create visuals that resonate emotionally while

remaining visually distinctive and culturally specific.

Why Pushing Culture Forward Matters to Us

Pushing culture forward is central to our practice because our own lives have been

shaped by movement and hybridity. With Zimbabwean roots, a Botswana upbringing,

and a South African base, we exist within multiple cultural realities. This lived

experience informs how we see the world and why representation, nuance, and

authorship matter deeply to us.

Through our work, we aim to expand the visual language of African and diasporic

storytelling moving beyond stereotypes and surface level narratives to reflect the

complexity, beauty, and contradictions of contemporary modern African life. We

believe film has the power to archive moments, shift perception, and inspire new

ways of seeing. By telling stories that feel honest and forward looking, we contribute

to a cultural conversation that
