Videographer
Jhalon Foster
I am Jhalon Foster, a cinematographer, editor, and musician with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film Production. Over the years, I’ve worked on a range of projects, including documentaries, commercials, and narrative films. My work has been recognized with awards such as a Silver at the American Advertising Awards and the Angel Award for Excellence in Advertising. Some of my short films have also been nominated in film festivals locally and internationally.
Beyond film, I am also a music producer, collaborating with artists across the United States, Canada, Australia, and Jamaica other regions.
While I have a diverse skill set, my true passion lies in narrative films, particularly those focused on Black culture. I’m drawn to stories that challenge conventions, often using non-linear structures to push creative boundaries. Influenced by filmmakers like Wong Kar-Wai and Christopher Nolan, I strive to craft concept-driven stories that subvert expectations while incorporating local influences to keep my work authentic.I see my style as constantly evolving, fluid and formless, as I explore different techniques and ideas.
Looking ahead, my goal is to work on feature films that tell open, honest stories and foster a positive, creative environment on set, where people feel comfortable and inspired.
Illustrator and Graphic Designer
Ronaldo Cameron
My name is Ronaldo Cameron. I'm a professional illustrator and graphic designer from Kingston, Jamaica. I collaborate with various local businesses and brands across industries—ranging from real estate to fashion—creating or updating their visual brand identities. Currently, I'm the Creative Director at ISTRY, a collective of artists and designers developing a startup food and beverage company emphasizing creativity in both the culinary and mixology fields. I'm also the Lead Visual Development Artist at Afrotoons, a startup animation studio based in Ghana.
While living in Los Angeles, I worked as a Character Designer at Warner Bros. Animation. Although I was abroad, I maintained a deep connection to my Jamaican roots. I’m heavily influenced by the retro aesthetic of the 1970s and the mysticism and spirituality of the old world. I find a deep connection between these influences and how they manifest through a distinctly Jamaican or broader Caribbean lens.
In my work, I explore how these elements of design, fashion, and culture resonate within the region—melding nostalgia with a spiritual depth that speaks to both the past and the present.

Seamstress & Couture Fashion Designer
Ifa- Shani Dehaney
My name is Ifa- Shani Dehaney. I'm a seamstress with a rich 12 year background in sewing and design. In 2024, I launched her clothing brand "Magix in Vxgue" with the dream of promoting self expression by creating unique pieces inspired by multiple cultures and sub-cultures.
​
I have an extensive style profile that continues to grow with new and old fashion trends as I produce pieces that will bring alternative styling to the next level in jamaica.
Hair- Stylist
Junior Alek Harrison
My name is Junior Alek Harrison, a past student of Portmore Community College, hailing from the vibrant parish of St. Catherine. I’m a dancer and hairstylist, influenced by Jamaican and American Pop culture's music and dance. These elements shape not only my personal identity but also my professional artistry.
​
Hair is more than just a medium—it's an extension of our rich cultural narrative. In Jamaican dance, the body is an instrument of rhythm and storytelling, constantly moving and evolving. I translate that same fluidity into my hair pieces, where movement is key, and the transitions between hair strands become seamless, mimicking the ebb and flow of modern moves or folk beats. Just like how sometimes music has no definitive start or end, my cornrows are designed to embody that same sense of infinite creativity.
​
My journey into hair began somewhat unexpectedly when a friend asked me to style their hair. I quickly discovered that I had a natural ability, which led me to refine my skills. Since then, I've watched the 'roots' of my journey grow, expanding what started as a small venture into something larger, as I connect deeper with diverse cultures and its many forms of expression.
​
My goal is to be the best version of myself through my passions, continuing to learn and embrace the culture that shapes me. Drawing inspiration from South African hair sculptor Kayra Theodore, I envision becoming multifaceted in hairstyling. Through braiding, wig-making, and styling hair of all textures, hair is my canvas of choice to tell stories of movement and identity.
Cinematographer
Jahmeel Thwaites
​
My name is Jahmeel Thwaites. I’m a cinematographer who specializes in narrative and commercial style filmmaking. My passion for the art form grew from my love of drawing — a talent I’ve honed since childhood — movies, action fantasy comics and camera technology.
Though most of my work revolves around corporate projects, the look and feel of my passion projects are largely influenced by my obsession with the human experience, the human form, rural destinations, and culture. Because of this, I’ve developed an affinity with colour grading, particularly film emulation, sound design and camera movements which aim to invite the viewer into the world on screen.
My influences include Larry Fong, Linus Sandgren, Greig Fraser and ultimately, Zack Snyder. So far, my talents, along with the collaborative effort of a few friends, has allowed me to win my first film festival, hosted by Kingston Creative, allowed me the chance to work with top directors in the music video space and given me the exposure needed to learn more about my craft.
My goal going forward is to work on feature films and hopefully, someday, etch my name into history as a well renowned cinematographer.
