Silas Miami is a Kenyan filmmaker and the director of Ten Times Half: a creative project development hub and production house. He holds an MA from the University of Cape Town in Media Theory and Practice as a Mandela-Rhodes scholar. He believes his ability to craft truthful stories is his ancestral inheritance - passed down to him through generations, as part of his genetic heritage. He hopes, through his creative work, to carve out worlds that celebrate identity and cultural ownership as forms of resistance and celebration. He currently lives in Amsterdam with his partner and their lazy chocolate lab.
