Writer/director/producer Kafi Kareem has two family-friendly shorts under her belt, and she’s currently developing her first feature with a team of international producers having recently served as a writing consultant on the 2019 feature film, Queen of Soca. Kafi won the 2018 Trinidad+Tobago Film Festival’s (ttff) Caribbean Film Mart where her movie pitch was selected by a panel of Hollywood industry professionals from among over a dozen pitches as the strongest for development and production. 

Having gained script development experience as a reader at boutique literary management companies Radmin Company and Madhouse Entertainment, Kafi learned how Hollywood decision makers select movie and television scripts, and she’s eager to pass that knowledge on to other writers. 

In this episode, we talk about how we could bring our regional comedic creators together, drawing parallels through the lens of Astronomy Club: the Sketch Show on Netflix, and our favourite sketch, A Good Old Fashion Shade Off!

We've partnered with Kafi Kareem & Story Play Media to offer a script coverage service, Script Concierge.
