About Akona

Passionate filmmaker & director with 10+ years turning ideas into stories that cross borders and genres. From directing festival-selected shorts like Dogtail (Greece Int’l Film Festival & Kuala Lumpur) and documentaries screened internationally, to crafting bilingual branded campaigns and cinematic content for art institutions in Paris and Cape Town, I blend documentary, fiction and commercials effortlessly.

Multilingual (English,Spanish, French and soon to add German), camera-obsessed (RED, ARRI, Sony FX6) and razor-sharp in editing (Premiere & DaVinci Resolve), I create visually stunning and rich narratives.

Currently based in Cologne while completing my PhD in Sociology, I’m ready to bring that same intensity, precision and creative spark to your next project.
