For our latest Power of Post series, NFFTY alum Joshua Afiriyie shares how he used ’s unique editing features to work alongside his editor to perfect the ending of his short film, SIMMER.

SIMMER, which screened at NFFTY 2024, follows young Black high school student Carter as he attempts to navigate a racially insensitive school environment and an emotionally suppressive home environment.

Currently based in Philly, Joshua is a writer and director committed to telling challenging stories with a focus on social justice, social commentary, and meaningful discourse. He is also the co-founder of Babellion Studios, a film collective specializing in filmmaking, podcast production, and providing students opportunities to showcase their talents.
