Susan Wokoma Instagram – Well this is bloody nice innit! ‘Dark Skin Bruises Differently’ bags its second award with Best Director at the @womenxfest!
Thank you so much Women X and @riannepictures for programming us and uplifting female filmmakers.
And thank you to the entire cast and crew who truly make this story, especially @bencotgrove – you are the kindest genius.
I know I’ve bored @maevademurger and a lot of the ‘Dark Skin’ team senseless with this saying but it is absolutely my filmmaking motto –
‘How You Make The Sausages Is As Important As The Sausages Themselves’
I am so proud of this film (the sausage) but even prouder of how ✨ WE ✨ made it (the process)
