Splitting his time between West Africa, America, and Montréal, Canada, Will Niava's work is as expansive as his background. Combining a striking and raw visual aesthetic with visceral storytelling, Niava's films are provocative and immersive cinematic experiences. His clients have included Amazon Music, MTV, CBS, and artists such as Billie Eilish and H.E.R.
With his first film, Zoo, Niava explores the tenuousness of social order when a troubled man has a chance encounter with three outcasts. Dynamic camerawork and rhythmic editing mirror the emotional state of the film's characters as their encounter escalates from a misunderstanding to all-out conflict.
Thrilling, captivating, and unnerving, Zoo is a powerful and timely commentary on power, alienation, and how we treat our fellow man. The film has garnered over 15 awards from over 90 international film festival selections, a Vimeo Staff Pick as well as a spot on the prestigious Criterion Collection.- Jean-Marc Konan was born on 4 November 1995 in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire.
